No they want to recoup the money saved by working from home once having to go back to office .Yup, there's gold in them there government employment and by god we're gonna get our share - screw the people we're supposed to be working for cuz they're "special."
I would think that working from home is and of itself a "raise" of sorts since they don't have to travel to work whether by vehicle or by public transit so they save money there. But hey, it's still not enough! Greedy buggers!!
The real bonus of working from home is writing off the office portion of the mortgage.Yup, there's gold in them there government employment and by god we're gonna get our share - screw the people we're supposed to be working for cuz they're "special."

Government employees working from home save on transportation , clothing and cleaning , lattes and lunches obviously we must subsidize them to return to the office . If they can also get a tax deduction of course we can afford it .The real bonus of working from home is writing off the office portion of the mortgage.
They can only claim the a portion of the interest on the mortgage, not the mortgage itself so the claim isn't a big a deal as it sounds.The real bonus of working from home is writing off the office portion of the mortgage.

During her testimony before the Commons finance committee Tuesday about the federal budget that she tabled in Parliament on March 28, Freeland was asked a simple question by Conservative MP Adam Chambers.
It was the amount of interest taxpayers will pay in the 2023 fiscal year (April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024) on Canada’s $1.22 trillion public debt.
It wasn’t a trick question. The numbers are in Freeland’s budget.
Interest on the federal debt will cost Canadians an estimated $43.9 billion in 2023 on $1.22 trillion of public debt; $46 billion in 2024; $46.6 billion in 2025; $48.3 billion in 2026 and $50.3 billion in 2027, when the total federal debt will be $1.31 trillion.
Instead of answering the question, Freeland accused Chambers of “fiscal fear-mongering” — in the tone of voice she frequently adopts that sounds like she thinks she’s lecturing a wayward child.
Here’s how the exchange went:
Freeland’s argument was, of course, logically flawed in that if you want to provide context to a number, you have to say what the number is.
Providing context without stating the number is arrogant and suggests Freeland, for some reason, thought saying it out loud, even in context, would be politically damaging.
Freeland also accused Conservatives MPs of trying to “bully” her by launching a two-week filibuster before her appearance because they wanted her to testify for two hours instead of one — which ended up being 80 minutes of testimony.
Then again, we shouldn’t be surprised.
After all, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau doesn’t answer the questions he’s asked all the time — whether from opposition MPs in question period or by reporters in media scrums.
So it’s hardly surprising Freeland does the same. There’s a transcript of some of the greasily evasive non-answers at the link at the top of this post.
