PMO Launches Security-Driven Search for Carney’s Nepean Riding Office

Officials say heightened security measures alongside stringent accessibility criteria are guiding efforts to secure a local constituency office for Prime Minister Mark Carney

Overview

  • PMO media director Emily Williams says the process to find a Nepean office that meets the prime minister’s strict security, convenience and accessibility standards is well underway
  • More than 100 days after the spring election, Carney remains the only cabinet minister yet to list a local riding office in the House of Commons directory
  • Nepean residents have been redirected to Defence Minister David McGuinty’s Ottawa South office for federal services until a local office is confirmed
  • Carney’s April campaign relied on a suburban Nepean office park that lacked the security standards required for a permanent constituency office
  • Liberal MP Bruce Fanjoy is relocating his Ottawa-area office due to insufficient space for his staff of six, illustrating routine logistical pressures on MPs’ local operations
