The March 17 parliamentary petition, sponsored by Liberal MP James Maloney, demands that federal workers be entitled to a minimum of three work-from-home days per week. It would apply to “federally regulated employees, including (those in) banking, telecommunications, transportation, postal services, pipelines, and Crown corporations.” The only exceptions would be for persons whose work is not primarily computer-based, those who work in emergency, medical or caregiving roles, or those whose “physical presence is demonstrably essential.”
