Could be so, but just saying "there is no way" isn't actually supported by any facts. Perhaps it had more to do with asbestos + needed a gut reno anyway. When I worked in Parliament I used to go there for the odd thing, and the building, while possessing many noteworthy fine details, was largely really awful inside.
The Lorne building was extremely troubled with HVAC and other issues which were making employees in the building sick for decades.
I know nothing about Sir John Carling other than the ID badge office I went to there once 7 years ago.
