Ms. MacDonald, why have Service Canada offices in areas most at risk, in large urban centres, been reopened?

In July, you announced the reopening of offices in Gatineau, Montreal and Quebec City, which had the most COVID-19 cases, while there weren't many in rural regions.

If this is a matter of health and safety, why were employees put at risk by reopening offices in regions with the most COVID-19 cases?
