The possible takeover of Canada's National Parks.

 House of Commons Ottawa March 19, 1998. MP Rick Laliberte (Churchill River, Sask.) New Democratic Party. (Bill C-29, the Canada Parks Agency Act..) "Mr. Speaker, the hon. member spoke at the beginning of this about hope, and at the end he also spoke of hope. How much hope do we have in the government? I listen to this party every day which talks about the obligations of the government and the patronage appointments. Now we are allowing another agency with a chief executive officer to be created by this government for another plum patronage appointment."

"(The Canada Parks Agency Act) is a capitalist form of commercializing of our national parks and eventual privatization when hon. members take their children...and enter the Walt Disney national park." more...

House of Commons Ottawa March 15,1972.(Government of Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. Canada's federal parklands will be owned by the citizens of this country forever): The Hon. Martin O'Connell, Minister of Labour, Liberal: "In our government's four years in office our national parks have increased from 18 to 28...There is a 50 per cent increase in the area set aside in perpetuity for national parks. Canada leads all nations in the world in land set aside for future generations."

House of Commons Ottawa February 24, 1970. The Hon. Jack Marshall (Humber-St. Georges-St. Barbe) Liberal: "National parks are a national domain set aside by the Parliament of Canada for all the people."
