Why is it a requirement?

Having a place to wash your hands is one stated idea of why they're usually required in Canada. I'm sure governments like the idea of not having to build-out public bathroom infrastructure (which gets a lot harder in places that freeze).

  > Having a place to wash your hands Here (Japan) places that need hand-washing but don't have a toilet will just have a small sink. E.g. a fast food place in a mall where they don't have their own toilets: https://saga-style.jp/images/2573/files/251552529081.JPG https://saga-style.jp/images/2573/files/251552529081.JPG Convenience store: https://blog-imgs-65.fc2.com/d/a/i/daiwariki/20140731_2.jpg https://blog-imgs-65.fc2.com/d/a/i/daiwariki/20140731_2.jpg https://uttan.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/IMG_0332.jpg https://uttan.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/IMG_0332.jpg https://chie-pctr.c.yimg.jp/dk/iwiz-chie/que-1087926330?w=200&h=200&up=0 https://chie-pctr.c.yimg.jp/dk/iwiz-chie/que-1087926330?w=20...

  >Having a place to wash your hands My favorite regional 'fast food joint' is "Cookout" (NC/Tenn). Not only is the Big Double Tray a fantastic & delicious value... they have a hand-washing sink immediately next to the ordering line (so you can wash your hands while waiting). More places need such accessible facilities.

    oh yeah, there's a local BBQ place that has a sink before the bathroom, because they don't want you touching anything with your saucy hands.

One could call it an unfunded mandate for public availability of restrooms. Not that I find that to be a bad thing. I noticed in Denver a number of places that had gone out of their way to remove seating specifically to avoid having to offer restrooms to the booming homeless population in the urban center there.

Because at some point our public servants had a modicum of integrity in their stated mission: the public good.

Pissing is a basic human need.
