What do you envision as the alternative?

The renovations are for the next prime Minister. Whoever that may be.

You don’t think the leader of Canada should have an official residence? Like they should just be in a bungalow in the suburbs?

It is Canada’s house, doesn’t belong to the PM, but when they reside there it’s a daily reminder that while PM they serve Canada.

There are practical reasons as well, not all houses are suitable from a security perspective, so… do we spend to renovate or relocate every PMs personal property?
