Controversy in the Capital! Looks like controversy has moved from 24 Sussex directly to the Centre Block. The Centre Block will be undergoing some repairs – apparently, it will take 10 years! Wow! The debate is leave the scaffolding exposed similar to what happened on the West Block or create a 3D trompe-l’oeil tarp to cover the scaffolding. The cost of the tarp is apparently 1 million dollars but that is a fraction of the cost of the repairs. Seems to me that as the building that stands in the centre of the city, not only for tourists but for residents as well, it should be covered. We’re not talking about a 2 or 3-year project here but 10 years and those might be government years.
