Thank you, Mr. Dubeau.
Thank you for the question, Mr. Boulerice.
As Mr. Dubeau said, the accessibility rules were introduced in 2021. Two factors in particular presented problems at the former official residence.
First, several steps had to be climbed to get directly to the apartment. This kind of problem could not have been solved as part of a renovation.
Second, the visitor washrooms for the representational areas did not allow for wheelchair access. That could have been solved, but it would have called for reconfiguring the room, and that would have been expensive.
We therefore made the decision to relocate the consul general's official residence.
