July 3 at 8:30 a.m. – CAPE calls for Mark Carney to answer for the costs of return-to-office

The Canadian Association of Professional Employees (CAPE) President Nathan Prier holds a press conference in front of the Prime Minister Mark Carney office in Ottawa, demanding to explain return-to-office (RTO) for non-frontline workers when 'the public rationale and $40 billion of costs, plus commercial real estate costs and maintenance, do not add up at a time of deep cuts to programs and services', as well as whether commercial real estate risk, bank exposure and pressure from wealthy corporate actors played any role in that decision.' CAPE and allies also deliver 'a large invoice for the cost of forced RTO to workers, taxpayers and public services, and an oversized cheque for the banks, representing the amount of cancelled savings from not reducing the office footprint' * CAPE argues that RTO policy 'is looking like a corporate handout to record-profit banks – a policy that appears to help protect four big banks and roughly $10 billion in their exposure tied to commercial real estate bets the sector knew were risky.
