THe same applies to visiting family. On the face of it, it may look like a frill, but in this day and age, when you're trying to get the most out of every person just to stay relevant in a world that is hypercompetitive, anything that offers even a marginal increase in productivity is a necessity.
They choose not to change it. Probably not out of sadism, but out of an assumption that there's more political capital to be gained from issues other than the difficulty of getting a cheap vacation exactly when you want it.

I guess ideally we look at whether the benefits to all Canadians, including those who have overseas ops, outweigh the disadvantages? Then, if we're government or big big business, we decide that the benefits to well-connected and/or wealthy people matter more?
