The Government of Canada is keeping it's promise to "get out of the business" of running experimental farms. During the 1970's Agriculture Minister Eugene Whelan told a news organization that Canadian research farms were the envy of the world. Dignitaries from all over the world visited the CEF in Ottawa:

Their Majesties Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko of Japan.

H.R.H. Princess Anne and Agriculture Minister Eugene Whelan.

Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev and Agriculture Minister Eugene Whelan. The William Saunders Building, seen in the background, may be demolished because the Ottawa Hospital will expand and does not want "irregularly-shaped parcels of land."
