Our supervisor has asked us whether we want to work or take the time off. Those who want to take the time off just take the time off. Those who want to work will be assigned to other projects nearby temporarily until the area opens again.

For the duration of the security for the G20 summit -- until they open the area again. I have a feeling it will include a few weekdays [before the summit] as well.

I was one who volunteered just to take the time off and not even bother coming into the city at that time.

Spend the time with the family and kids I guess.... I'd like to avoid the whole thing.

I think it's very disruptive. Why it would need to take place in the heart of an urban centre -- it's probably not entirely necessary for the amount it's going to disrupt workplaces like this particular site and other industries nearby. It probably would be better to hold it in a more rural setting or country setting.

I suppose it's convenient for them.... They've certainly got the facilities in there for everything they need -- the hotel on one side and CSIS on the other, I think. It's probably not a bad spot.
