House Of Commons Showers

Parliament Hill Dept: The documents show that badly installed tiles in a set of House of Commons showers took almost a year and more than $28,000 to resolve, according to CBC. The documents are a peek into how federal government contracting works, at a time when Parliament Hill is undergoing at least $5 billion in repairs over 25 years and newly released documents that show how replacing a few metres of tile turned into a months-long job and cost almost $30,000 shed some light on how even simple repair jobs get complicated when they're on Parliament Hill. And they show that while officials told a reporter the delay didn't drive up the project's cost, in fact a request for extra work meant the project went from just over $18,000 to a total cost of $28,246.
