Of course, it's still a boon for Gatineau in terms of in-lieu tax money from the buildings and other spinoffs. And of course many people from Gatineau work in Ottawa too.
Sorry, I thought that it was clear to everyone that just because you work in Ottawa or Gatineau, you don't necessairly live there.

Regarding the bolded part: Many more people from Gatineau commute to work in Ottawa, than people from Ottawa commute to work in Gatineau, based on traffic patterns that I observe and participate in. Not really making a point, just stating a fact.
