The National Capital Commission cannot sell land adjacent to the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway.

"National Capital Commision seeking city approval for diplomatic precinct along Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway in Mechanicsville." by Jon Willing, Ottawa Citizen, December 26, 2020.

 Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway land is part of the National Interest Land Mass, and will be owned the people of Canada in perpetuity;

National Interest Land Mass.

"The National Interest Land Mass (NILM) consists of "national shrines, the river and canal banks, the Confederation Boulevard, the Gatineau Park, and the Greenbelt in the National Capital Region...Considered essential to the realization of the vision of the Capital...There are 37 individual parcels of property in this category currently owned by the NCC totalling some 44, 200 ha. in area."

"Land forming part of the NILM will be retained by the NCC on behal of the government in perpetuity, for purposes which lie at the core of the NCC's mandate; and will be managed by the NCC with little or no further management involvement by the Treasury Board Secretariat."

 As I have said before, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney created the National Interest Land Mass in 1988 after 91 acres of Experimental Farm land on Carling Avenue were sold to the Municipality of Ottawa--- over the objections of Agriculture Minister John Wise. The NILM was supposed to prevent the NCC from selling federal property, and to keep the City of Ottawa from using government property as a land bank---especially the Greenbelt.

House of Commons Debates Ottawa May 13, 1988. Hon. John Wise, Federal Minister of Agriculture: "Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the Hon. Member's continuing interest in the future of the Experimental Farm here in Ottawa. I want to take this opportunity to indicate to him that Agriculture Canada, my Department, has no plans or thoughts whatsoever concerning disposing of any portion of that property at any time. There is no question about that."

Hon. Members: "Hear, hear!"

Ottawa Greenbelt Development Under Review.

"For the first time, the City of Ottawa has identified more than 13,700 acres of the Greenbelt, worth $1.6 billion, that could be developed without damaging the integrity of the capital's most treasured natural landmark. The land, about a quarter of the 49,400 acre belt, is enough to provide more than 20 years of urban land for housing and employment if the National Capital Commission decides to open it up for development."
