"The Walt Disney National Park."

Bill C-29, An Act to Amend the National Parks Act.

House of Commons Ottawa March 19, 1998. MP Rick Laliberte (Churchill River) NDP "...Our parks are a sacred sanctuary, they are part of our national identity...The Canadian Parks Agency Act is a capitalist form of commercialization of our national parks and eventual privatization when the hon. members take their children, pay at the toll gate to lift the Stornoway gate, enter Walt Disney national park and come out and negotiate the fee with the minister if she deems them to be of interest."

House of Commons Ottawa March 19, 1998. Mr. Nelson Riis (Kamloops, B.C.) New Democratic Party: "Members can probably tell that I do not support Bill C-29 at this point. This bill involves a great deal of Canada: 31 national parks, 786 historical sites, a number of historical canal systems (for example the Rideau Canal), 661 sites that are managed by third parties that are ecologically and environmentally significant, 165 heritage railway stations and 31 river systems."

Mr. Howard Hilstrom (Selkirk- Interlake, Manitoba) Reform: "Mr. Speaker, I am quite interested in the financial aspects of this bill. Is there a possibility of foreign interests getting involved in our parks system?"

Mr. Nelson Riis: "Obviously the answer is yes. We lack a national parks policy, just as we lack a national waterways policy or a national highway policy."

"In one year, with the support of this bill, it is possible that there will be no Crown land assets left." Member of Parliament Dennis Mills (Broadview-Greenwood, Toronto) House of Commons Ottawa, November 22, 1991.
