The Department of Fisheries and Oceans and it's partner, the Canada Lands Company.

The Hon. Erik Nielsen conducted an inventory of all federal properties in Canada in 1986. Mr. Nielsen was a Deputy Prime Minister of Canada and Minister of Public Works. The Jean Charest document "Let the Future Begin" called the Department of Public Works "a relic" and recommended that all federal property in Canada be transferred to the Canada Lands Company for disposal/privatization.
1.)Richmond British Columbia Coast Guard Transmitter Station - 136 acres of land - Transferred to Canada Lands Company in 2001.
2.) Port Credit Marina redevelopment:
People in Port Credit, Mississauga are concerned about the density of the Canada Lands Company project, the height of the condominiums and the number of condos that will be constructed. Also, they want more green space/public land.

3.)All lighthouses owned by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, 1,000 were "disposed of" a few years ago. That includes Peggy's Cove. Photo's of me taken at Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia:

4.) Five acres of land were annexed from the West Vancouver Laboratory on Marine Drive in Vancouver.

5.) Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Coast Guard are involved in a Canada Lands Company project called "Portsmouth Visioning". The enterprise will result in the demolition of Kingston Penitentiary walls, buildings and guard towers; the construction of high rise condominiums and townhouses on Corrections Canada, City of Kingston and DFO property, and the loss of green space at a City of Kingston park --- a park that was paid for by the taxpayers of Ontario during the 1976 Summer Olympics.

6.) 2002-2003- Canada Lands Company acquired the title to DFO's 11-acre Trafalgar Road property, Oakville, Ontario.
