Prime Minister Mark Carney said his government will be speaking with public sector unions in the coming weeks to hash out the details of the updated return-to-office rules for federal public servants. 

"We will be engaging with the public sector unions on the modalities of that, on the appropriate levels of that. We will come to a sharper view on it over the course of the next several weeks," Carney told Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe at an event on Dec 8. 

"There will likely be different levels of return depending on seniority, depending on role and obviously depending on capacity."
