Put it this way. Would you rather go to a meeting with no sleep or some sleep? That's effectively the choice given to average public servant flying Economy to LHR from YOW. If you're there for 1-2 days arriving in the night is alright. You get some sleep. If you're there for longer (say a week long conference), you're flying earlier anyway and arriving the day before any meeting, so arriving in the morning is alright. You have the whole day to settle in and can go to bed early.
Sure that doesn't work for high flying business class people who are ostensibly walking into lunch time meetings in London. But that's a smaller proportion out of Ottawa anyway. They'll connect through Toronto or Montreal or even Newark if they have to.

Sort of an apples to oranges comparison. In the day scenario the employer is paying for a night at a hotel before the meeting and a full work day for travel. If the employer will authorize a full day of travel and a a hotel night then the redeye comparison would be arriving the day before and having almost a day to acclimatize.
