Pyramids will be constructed on the Old Port of Montreal.

A section of the land was sold to astronaut and Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberte. The property was owned by the People of Canada, and divested through a Privy Council Order-in-Council signed by the Governor General of Canada.

Prime Minister Diefenbaker thought Orders-in-Council were undemocratic:
    "Without an Opposition, decision by discussion would end and be supplanted by virtual dictatorship, for governments prefer to rule by Order-in-Council to Parliament, and bureaucrats prefer to be uncontrolled by Parliament or the courts." (From: An October 27, 1949 speech to the Empire Club at the Royal York Hotel Hotel, Toronto.)
