The National Capital Commission (NCC) is planning to construct an underground Senate parkade at the cost of $1 million a spot, an expense one senator has called “outrageous.”
Alberta Sen. Scott Tannas told a Senate committee Nov. 9 that the NCC had proposed the construction of an underground parking garage at an as yet undisclosed location. The NCC, the Crown corporation responsible for Canada’s official residences, is the same agency that spent $8 million on a solar-powered barn for Rideau Hall.
