As for the location having the passport office that covers the entirety of rural Eastern Ontario and etc accessible by car makes sense. This is the whole regional trauma hospital argument all over again.

As discussed above, downtown Hull isn't nearly as accessible for many reasons. And this is for functions done in person, so not sure what online or mail has to do with where it should be located. Also not sure why we would be prioritizing making the office as accessible as possible for rural residents at the expense of the biggest population centre in the region and particularly transit users who often don't have other options. It's not like downtown is inaccessible by car - it's still very central and at the heart of our road network. It just provides users with other transportation options.
I find it very odd that the biggest advocate for unfettered densification of the central core of the city is now advocating for moving services to the periphery.
