I did not talk to anybody about relocating. My comments, casual as they may have been, were directed towards what I had to work with at 550 Park Avenue, in unit 12E.
I noted that there were problems with the furniture, for example, that made it very difficult for people with mobility or accessibility issues to use.
Regarding the family space—and this goes a bit further to explaining what I meant by that—there is in that apartment no designated family space other than the bedrooms. Everything else is representational.
I brought this up to say, as we have heard in previous testimony from officials of Global Affairs, that this is not an uncommon comment for incoming heads of missions. It is a problem with many official residences.
