[ ] >> Patricia: the treasury board president stands on remote work as flexibility does more flexibly than originally thought just three weeks after new policy is introduced. >>> This is ctv news at five, I'm patricia boal. The treasury board president weighing into night on the future of remote work for thousands of public servants only weeks after the government's new hybrid office mandate was unveiled. Natalie van rooy is live in studio with the latest. >> Reporter: that update was three weeks ago and mandating workers to be in the office three days a week starting this fall. This morning, at the mayor's breakfast the president of the treasury board says it wasn't a political decision but was made by the public service. It's an issue that's enraged public sector unions that mandate for federal workers to return for three days to the office. The president of the treasury board sending a new softer message that there may be exceptions to the rule, accommodations, exemptions for workers, signalling managers may have less stability for those who ask for it. >> Hybrid still exists in that respect. But there's also the possibility which I think is really important and where we should focus our attention on accommodations and exemptions for public servants who need and require those exemptions. >> Reporter: canadians are divided on the issue. According to a poll by the angus reid institute, 59% of canadians support federal workers spending more time in the office while 47% in a public sector union support federal workers spending more time in the office and 41% in a public sector union strongly opposed. A number of public servants also rallied outside city hall this morning where the mayor's breakfast was held. More on that tonight at six. >> Patricia: a busy morning.

Katelyn wilson joins us with more. >> Reporter: patricia, nothing has been decided yet. It boils down to money. The college tells ctv news that it's about using its resources effectively. At the same time we are talking about two highly sought after programs filling a need in the community. The board of governors is expected to vote on june 3rd whether or not to send the hairstyling aestheticians programs. They graduate more than 200 students each year. The college says, it's part of a strategic process that instructors we spoke with say it all mean the end of highly sought after programs that our female dominated and in high demand. >> Is a great shortage. We lost a lot of talented professionals because there was huge closures happening during the pandemic. Our industry was one of the most impact -- biggest impact if you calculate all the dates, it was a most a year closed. To fill that gap, we need programs like this. >> Reporter: it's estimated within the next five to ten years, a shortage of hairstylists will grow to 10,000 nationwide according to government data.

Coming at a time when many canadians are making a conscious effort to boycott loblaw. And its affiliated stores. No frills and real canadian superstore. The movement was started on social media over outrage of alleged price gouging and a continued rise in the cost of food. >> They see prices are now almost the same as a local producer and I think that's where we see people come in.
