Mr. Chair, this is a very topical issue for us. It's on the minds of all our employees right now, particularly as public health measures are relaxed.
Over the course of the pandemic, we were very fortunate to be able to work remotely quite effectively and productively, including with support from our colleagues at Shared Services Canada to make sure we had the remote capability. It has made us a very productive organization, as demonstrated by the departmental results report.
Going forward, we recognize that work has changed permanently. We will be looking at hybrid work options. There's a lot of thinking still to be done on exactly what that means. We're working with staff to try to find some models that ensure we're able to deliver on our mandate while also meeting some of the employee preferences.
It's undeniable that there will be an element of hybrid work that will be more prominent in the future than it has been in the past.
