The federal government plans to require public servants to return to the office four days a week starting July 6, up from the current three days. However, concerns have arisen regarding insufficient office space, as many departments already struggle with shared desk availability.

The Treasury Board is in consultation with unions to address workspace and safety issues related to the new policy.
