Canada is selling one of its apartments in New York City to cover the cost of a brand-new luxury condo it recently purchased for $9 million.
The Canadian government owns two apartments at a Park Avenue building in Manhattan, one of which is used as the official residence for the consul general in New York.Global Affairs Canada said the former "is being readied for sale, and is expected to cover the purchase price of the new unit."The new condo was bought because the old unit wasn't up to code and doesn't meet the department's standards, said Global Affairs spokesman John Babcock.
The Opposition Conservatives have made hay over the price tag, with Leader Pierre Poilievre vowing to fire consul general Tom Clark if he becomes prime minister. The previous Conservative government under prime minister Stephen Harper had a list of about 40 official residences abroad that it wanted to sell as part of a three-year plan to cut millions in spending within Foreign Affairs.
Global Affairs Canada provides residences to heads of missions such as ambassadors, high commissioners and consuls general based on a "real property policy," said spokesman Babcock.
