24 Sussex is now asbestos and rodent-free — and nobody knows what to do with it​

House requires almost $37 million in necessary repairs and renovations, capital commission says​

The prime minister's official residence has been stripped of asbestos, mould, lead and rodents, according to the National Capital Commission.

But with the home still standing empty after eight years without a tenant, and with no clear plan for its future, there's no guarantee the mice won't move back.

"There's a reason that there are rats running through the place. If you left your place vacant … you'd have rats running through it too," said former heritage minister Sheila Copps in an interview with CBC Radio's The House.

The home at 24 Sussex Drive is in a sorry state, thanks to successive political leaders being unwilling to be seen spending money to refit the 19th century home. The work being done now is maintenance that "must be addressed regardless of any decision taken by the government on the future of the prime minister's residence," the NCC said in a media statement.
