Canada's construction news
OTTAWA — Turning Rideau Cottage into the permanent residence of the prime minister would have to include creating staff offices and other “residential infrastructure,” an internal government document says.
The saga over what to do next lands in the middle of a cost-of-living crisis, as the Liberals struggle to soothe Canadians’ anxieties about affordability and are chided by the Opposition Conservatives for their spending. The National Capital Commission declined to say whether any renovations have been to done to address the lacking infrastructure at Trudeau’s current home.That would mean constructing a new “modern facility with limited heritage elements,” such as the building’s stone facade, according to the briefing note.
Trudeau said in a 2018 interview that no prime minister wants to spend a dime of taxpayer money on that site. “Prior to this abatement, heritage fabric, such as doors and mouldings, was carefully removed, catalogued and stored for possible future reinstatement.”
