The West Block
of Parliament Hill.
Eight years renovations.
Glass-domed ceiling
covers the interior courtyard, home
of the interim House of Commons Chamber.
Light pours in.
Sunlight.
The best disinfectant.
Little wonder discussions
between the PMO and SNC-Lavalin
and
between the PMO and the former Attorney General
were held elsewhere,
in the building across the street,
behind shuttered windows and
under a copper-sheathed roof.
