House of Commons Ottawa March 24, 1986: Jean-Robert Gauthier (Chief Opposition Whip; Whip of the Liberal Party) (Ottawa-Vanier): "...My question is directed to the Deputy Prime Minister. Will he tell the House if it is federal policy to sell federally owned parklands? NCC Chairman Jean Pigott recently said she wants to sell part of an Ottawa riverfront park known as Mile Circle to the United States of America for an embassy compound. Is the Government in favour of selling our natural parklands?"
Hon. Erik Nielsen (Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defence): "Mr. Speaker, I believe this question has been answered several times before and I simply refer the hon. gentleman to the records of the House."
Mr. Jean-Robert Gauthier: "Mr. Speaker, could the Deputy Prime Minister inform the House whether he intends to act responsibly and give clear and precise instructions to all those responsible for our national parks, indicating clearly that none of our national parks are for sale?"
