Maybe, but probably not as much as investing in infrastructure that lowers the 15,000 km the average Canadian drives a year.

So, internet service? That's has proven to be the most effective tool in seeing people drive a lot less. Driving to and from work is the bulk of those 15,000 kms and a good internet connection allows around 40% of the workforce to work from home, as seen during the COVID period. We are investing quite heavily in that.

In fact, we're investing so heavily in improved internet service that many farms in Canada now have two fibre runs as the government determined one was not enough!

If employees work from home middle managers loose their reason to exist. And seeing as middle management gets to decide on the question work-from-home...
