PWGSC and NCC parks and green spaces.

House of Commons Debates   Ottawa    November 25, 1968.
Mr. Walter Dinsdale, (Brandon, Manitoba), Progressive Conservative.
     "I think the hon. member will agree that the national parkways, the experimental farm and many other specialized and beautiful park areas are supported by the people of Canada through public funds expended by the National Capital Commission whose estimates we are now discussing."
Mr. William Arnold Peters, (Timiskaming, Ontario.) New Democratic Party.
     "Our national capital should be developed in a way acceptable to Canadians who visit it from all parts of Canada. We rent, buy and expropriate property to build a national capital plan. But what happens in Ottawa, every time some joker gets an idea that he wants to build a high rise building in Ottawa, the City changes its zoning. In effect the city seems subject to the plans of two or three entrepreneurs."
