We should have an adequate residence for the PM.  I don't think people who say it should be torn down disagree with that statement.  The question is should we be renovating an inadequate building just because it is there and has been the PM's residence in the past or is a better solution to tear down the existing structure and build something new that fulfils all the current needs and may be less expensive to build.  It doesn't always make sense to renovate.  Sometimes building from scratch is better.  I believe that this survey simply shows that most Canadians don't have an emotional attachment to the building.  I've seen it, it's nothing special.  If it weren't for the address you could go right by it and not know it had any meaning whatsoever.
