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.
Public Services and Procurement Minister Filomena Tassi says it will cost an estimated $430 million to transform a mix of aging buildings facing the Hill into a modern, inclusive and sustainable design.
