Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Tues. June 10th, 2025
June 10, 2025
The report into the infamous ArriveCan app wasn’t the only breakdown we got from Canada’s Auditor General today. In a separate release, it says the feds have been slow in their efforts to reduce office space. Since 2019, Public Services and Procurement Canada had plans to reduce its office footprint. It’s now 2025, a whopping 6 years later, and there has only been a 2 percent reduction. That’s because full-scale implementation only began last year, a reality that was fueled by a lack of funding. CTV’s Austin Lee has more on that story in Hour 4. Plus, we deliver the latest breaking news as it happens, right here on CFRA’s Ottawa Now.
