‘Not just any home’: Liberal government set to announce plans to ‘restore’ 24 Sussex

The prime minister's official residence, 24 Sussex Drive, has been vacant for over a decade due to extensive issues, including structural damage and maintenance needs. The Liberal government is now set to unveil plans for its restoration, aiming to revitalize this iconic symbol of Canadian governance. This move is significant as it addresses the long-standing neglect of the residence and underscores the government's commitment to preserving its historical and cultural value. The restoration plans could also reflect the administration's priorities in maintaining national heritage and ensuring the prime minister has a functional and fitting place of residence.
