Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Tues. December 16th, 2025

A working group on public service productivity has issued a new report, as well as a list of 19 suggestions for the federal government. These suggestions are aimed at improving effectiveness and accountability within the public service. Does the public service need a productivity review? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Plus, a school in Ottawa’s West End got into the Christmas spirit a little early this year with a festive lunch. That’s largely thanks to the generosity of a local entrepreneur. Gregory Aboukheir drops by for a visit in Hour 3.
