Ontario’s Premier Doug Ford has called on the federal government to bring federal workers back to the office in Ottawa at least three days a week to help boost economic activity in the city.
“They have to get people back to work,” Ford said during a press conference in Ottawa, while standing next to Mayor Mark Sutcliffe, according to a CBC report.
“It sounds crazy. I’m begging people to go to work for three days — not that they aren’t working at home, but it really affects the downtown.”
