I totally understand that, and I totally understand the other reasons, but it would seem to me that this would be a very important reason, if you have no consequences in terms of loss of budget for a failure to reduce space. I used to work as a CAO of a multinational, and one of the departments I headed was real estate. Of course, the main incentive for everybody to reduce space is that it deeply impacts their bottom line.
I understand that you're not allowed to make such recommendations in your report, but is there a simple fix for the government to change that policy to allocate costs differently?
