The Nielsen Commission plans for the National Capital Commission.

The Hon. Erik Nielsen was a Minister of Public Works (1979-80); Deputy Prime Minister of Canada (1984-86) and Minister of National Defence (1984-86.)

House of Commons Ottawa March 17, 1986. MP Joseph Gaston Isabelle (Hull-Aylmer) Liberal. "The Nielsen Commission wanted to abolish the National Capital Commission and make it part of the Department of Public Works."

House of Commons Ottawa November 19, 1979. MP Jean-Robert Gauthier (Ottawa-Vanier): "Mr. Speaker, my qustion is directed to the Minister of Public Works as the spokesman for the NCC. I would like to ask the minister if it is to be concluded that he might consider changing or abolishing the NCC..."

Hon. Erik Nielsen (Minister of Public Works): "...With respect to the change in the structure of the NCC, that, too, is under review."

Why was Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson included in the "Virtual Public Board of Directors Meeting" regarding Place du Portage in Gatineau, Quebec? The meeting took place on January 21, 2021 and it can be viewed on YouTube, see point 3:10:36. The Mayor found is necessary to denigrate Phase 111. A close relative of mine was a PWGSC employee for nearly 30 years and I occasionally visited Phase 1V. I thought the buildings were beautiful.

Tenants of Place du Portage in 1990.  Supply and Services Canada; Consumer and Corporate Affairs; Employment and Immigration; National Capital Commission; Canada Post; Public Works; the Department of Health and Welfare; the Department of Agriculture; National Defence. (House of Commons, November 30, 1990.)  I believe that Place du Portage will be converted into condos.
