Subhead:The National Research Council is spending millions to transform a vacant Ottawa library into a lavish workplace with an executive suite, defying Prime Minister Carney’s order to repurpose unused properties for public housing.#
The National Research Council (NRC) has earmarked nearly $46 million to transform a vacant Ottawa library into a lavish “engaging workplace,” complete with an executive suite for its $377,500-a-year president, Mitch Davies.
The stunning display of bureaucratic excess was first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter, and comes mere days after Prime Minister Mark Carney ordered federal agencies to repurpose unused properties for desperately needed public housing.
