The current cost estimate for needed renovations to the prime minister's residence at 24 Sussex Drive is approximately $310 million.

That's $10 million for the repairs, and the rest to remove the occupant so the work can be done.

And if he allowed the work to be done he'd be criticised for feathering his own nest at taxpapyer expense (same thing happened to Mulroney).

It's a no-win situation for the PM.

Please, "Anonymous", spare me. Harper didn't say anything about wanting to save the taxpayers money. He said that he wasn't going to leave the house until his term was up.

Allowing desperately-needed repairs to be done has nothing to do with "feathering his own nest", and nothing to do with Mulroney's redecoration.
