In the modern era, Canada’s efforts to align its public spaces with residents’ needs have not achieved the transformative goal of redeveloping an overwhelming majority of unused office areas into affordable housing. This report by Auditor General Karen Hogan reveals that underperforming public services and procurement Canada has only made small progress, reducing office footage by only 2 percentage points—this significant decline mirrors the projected cost reduction over the next decade. While some Efforts to eliminate unused office spaces remain unfulfilled, this state of affairs has long been noted as a cornerstone of the party’s commitment to remedy a housing crisis.

In 2019, government speculation had reached $500 million through a private lands acquisition fund. Three years later, Ottawa reported that even more buildings were deemed empty, and the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated office space vacaties with many federal offices now operating at 50% capacity.

Reaching For Room with Policy Action

To redirect the situation, Trudeau announced a freezing of office space for nearly a year, requiring staff to work 50 hours a week, and even forbidding the un criminals from staying outside.

Despite these challenges, there is renewed momentum—a goal of reducing office spaces by up to 50% by 2034. The mandate to work at least three days a week makes office space more valuable, have employees, and infuse additional costing, though this to some renders office hours redundant. Trudeau explained: "We can’t afford the office space anymore, and we have offered to reduce it." He also admitted that other deputy heads hate the idea of a reduced office and has full reason to believe it will put people off working in the building.
