The Terry Fox statue across from Parliament Hill will need to be moved to make way for a new building to house MPs and senators, committee rooms and an Indigenous Peoples’ space.

The planned building, which is rectangular with a nod to neo-classical design, has distinctive copper window facades, a reference to the copper roofs on existing parliamentary buildings.
