24 Sussex closure: Ottawa was warned of risks in delaying PM home decision
Since then, the federal Liberal cabinet has continually deferred making a decision about whether to restore the heritage property.It’s seen as a bit of a political quagmire. In 2018, Trudeau remarked that no prime minister wanted to spend taxpayer dollars on 24 Sussex.
But in July, Seaman informed the government of the commission’s plans to close the residence entirely, saying the work that needed to happen “by no means pre-empts any future decisions by the federal government regarding the use and purpose of the residence.” The Canadian prime ministers’ residence, 24 Sussex, is seen on the banks of the Ottawa River in Ottawa on Monday, Oct. 26, 2015.Officials blame the deterioration of the 34-room mansion on consecutive governments’ unwillingness to spend money on repairing and performing proper upkeep of the house, which was first built in 1868.Story continues below advertisement
