OTTAWA - Treasury Board president Shafqat Ali on Monday denied having any knowledge about discussions to potentially order public servants to return to the office full time in 2027.

Ali was responding to questions from reporters after the Canadian Association of Professional Employees president Nathan Prier wrote to Ali to ask about rumours of the impending change.

"I'm hearing from news outlets, so I'm not aware of that," Ali said, before question period on Parliament Hill.

He said he was looking into the matter but "nothing has changed."

La Presse reported that the federal government is considering implementing a policy to have public servants work in office five days a week by January 2027, with executives possibly returning full time even sooner.
