Virtual reality: COVID leaves legacy of remote work for cabinet staff

‘If Parliament is able to work remotely and able to kind of continue and carry out its function, it’s set a bit of a precedent for everyone else,’ says former staffer John O’Leary.

Staffers wait outside a Liberal caucus meeting in the West Block on Nov. 8, 2021, shortly after that year's election, after which the transition to increasingly in-person work began. After being normalized during COVID, some staff continue to work remotely, including from outside the National Capital Region. The Hill Times photograph by Andrew Meade
