Those government departments that are still not getting employees back into the office regularly are basically saying a) we don't have a workplace culture that is worth protecting and b) we are afraid to actually manage our employees. Neither are great looks.
But to Mille Sabords' point, I actually think that every employer in the city has a responsibility to contribute to a vital urban core.

The pandemic actually showed that these jobs could be done ANYWHERE across Canada - do we have a Cdn government that serves the country or just downtown Ottawa?
The reasons to get fed gov employees into offices is for collaboration and socializing - but there is no $$$ for these activities.
Kanata employers are not responsible for making downtown Ottawa vibrant.
