New Zealand mulls 4-day workweek post-coronavirus. Could that work in Canada? But it was an intriguing enough idea that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was asked if the idea would work in Canada, especially now that many businesses are reopening with shorter hours due to the novel coronavirus pandemic.“I think there are a lot of people thinking creatively about what the post-COVID world could look like,” he said. “And I look forward to hearing a wide range of suggestions.
But right now, we’re very much focused on getting through this particular crisis.”An Angus Reid poll published Friday suggests more Canadians are beginning to like the idea of a four-day work week.
