“At the strong recommendation of the RCMP and security officials, the Prime Minister has been temporarily staying at an official guest residence,” the Privy Council Office said in a statement to CTV News Ottawa. “In line with their security recommendations, he will soon be residing in Rideau Cottage.”

The prime minister’s residence has been closed to the public since the fall of 2022.

The National Capital Commission completed abatement and decommissioning work at 24 Sussex Drive last year to address health and safety issues and remove “obsolete mechanical, heating and electrical systems.”
