Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Mon. December 8th, 2025

As we talked about earlier in today’s program, the feds will be speaking with public service unions over the coming weeks. And the primary talking point, to nobody’s surprise, surrounds more time at workstations for Canada’s public servants. However, the unions are furious that this information was publicly revealed during a Mayor’s Breakfast. Should the government force public servants back to the office on a full-time basis? Should the mandate be tailored to each individual job, as opposed to a blanket mandate? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. And because it’s a Monday afternoon, we pose this question to our Political Heat Panel as well.
