OTTAWA — A new report by Canada’s auditor general says the federal government has been slow in its effort to reduce its office space.
The report finds that Public Services and Procurement Canada has had plans to reduce its office space footprint since 2019 but there has only been a two per cent reduction because full-scale implementation only began in 2024.
The report says the delay in progress is mainly due to a lack of funding.
It also says the government has been slow to modernize its offices to be open spaces without assigned seating.
