In order to properly manage official residences, we need adequate funding, on one hand, and access to the residence to do the work, on the other. Stornoway, the official residence of the leader of the opposition; the Farm, the official residence of the speaker of the House of Commons; 7 Rideau Gate, the official home away from home for visiting dignitaries; and Rideau Hall, the official residence of the governor general, are all in good condition. Harrington Lake and 24 Sussex are in the worst condition. The condition of some subordinate buildings may also be poor, thus affecting the overall quality of the portfolio. Nevertheless, except for Harrington Lake and 24 Sussex, all the official residences are in good condition.
