After losing the election and his own seat, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre will also soon need to move out of his taxpayer-funded public mansion.

Stornoway, a 9,500-square-foot mansion in Ottawa’s tony Rockcliffe neighbourhood, has been the official residence of Canadian opposition leaders since the 1950s. The mansion is maintained by the National Capital Commission.

According to the Official Residences Act, Stornoway is mandated to be “maintained as a residence for the person holding the recognized position of Leader of the Opposition in the House of Commons.”
