PM Carney to share plans for future of 24 Sussex on Friday

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney says he will unveil plans for the future of 24 Sussex on Friday.

Since the building was abandoned as the official residence of the prime minister, taxpayers have been shelling out tens of thousands of dollars per year to maintain the vacant property.

Asked at a press conference today what he would like to see happen to the building, Carney said he’d hold a press conference Friday to discuss that.

Carney told reporters last May that it was up to the National Capital Commission to decide what to do with 24 Sussex.
