If a hospital is built on the Farm, the government of Canada will be violating several treaties and agreements.

1.)  The land is unceded and unsurrendered Algonquin First Nations territory.

2.)  The 2016 Paris Agreement on Climate Change, an international treaty.

3.)  A 1954 Privy Council Order-in-Council approved by Canadian Prime Minister Louis St-Laurent.

4.)  A 1949 Privy Council Order-in-Council approved by Canadian Prime Minister Mackenzie King that 900 square miles of land in the National Capital Region would be "a living memorial" to fallen Canadian soldiers. Greber Report of 1950.

5.)  A UNESCO treaty whereby land adjacent to the Rideau Canal at Dows Lake would be off-limits to developers. UNESCO is threatening to remove the designation "World Heritage Site" from the Rideau Canal if a hospital is built.

6.)  An agreement by federal politicians George McIlraith and Howard Charles Green, Minister of Public Works, that no buildings would be constructed on the Experimental Farm when the World War 11 Temporary Buildings were removed. House of Commons Ottawa June 16, 1958: The Hon. Howard Charles Green: "...When these temporary buildings are torn down nothing will be constructed on the site."

7.)  A 1976 agreement whereby the vacant land near the Sir John Carling Building (Queen Juliana Park) would be a gift to the people of Canada from the Department of Public Works.

8.)  A proposal brought forward by Ottawa City Councillors Katherine Hobbs and Jeff Leiper that Queen Juliana Park should remain a greenspace. 

9.)  The Central Experimental Farm is a National Interest Land Mass. NILM properties are off-limits to private, provincial and municipal projects:

The National Interest, from the 1975- 1976 National Capital Commission Annual Report. "Up until recent years, the NCC and its predecessors were in effect the only long-range planners for the National Capital Region. But as Ottawa, Hull and their surrounding communities grew, other jurisdictions began to assume their own and proper responsibilites for planning. Naturally, administrative conflicts have resulted."

"Under the National Capital Act, the Commission is responsible for protecting and promoting the national interest in the Capital. The objectives and purposes of the Commission are set out in the Act: 'To prepare plans for and assist in the development, conservation and improvement of the National Capital Region in order that the nature and character of the seat of the government of Canada may be in accordance with its national significance,"

"It has been argued by some that only municipal authorities have the responsibility for promulgating and implementing region-wide planning in the National Capital Region. The Commission holds that this view is unconstutional."

"Provincial and municipal authorities have responsibility for local concerns in their respective jurisdictions in the Region. But their responsibilities cannot be construed as representing the national interest. Neither can they be substituted for national concerns and interests. If Parliament had not wanted to see a national character for the Capital, it would not have created a national agency for that purpose.

10.)  CEF National Historic Site Management Plan-Part 7/20. "The Central Experimental Farm National Historic Site is designated in its entirety as part of the National Interest Land Mass. These lands are essential for the long-term symbolism, functions, physical structures and natural and cultural landscapes of the Capital."

"Implicit in a NILM designation is a formal expression of the Federal Government's interest in the long-term use of these lands...Most NILM lands are, or should be under the custody of the federal government to ensure they are protected and enhanced. Generally, the majority of these lands are, or will be, owned by the NCC, while some will be under the custody of other federal custodians or departments." 

12.) Management Plan - Rideau Canal National Historic Site of Canada. Buffer zones and viewscapes will be negatively impacted.

13.)  Dominion Observatory National Historic Site of Canada - Buffer zones, and light intrusion will prevent the Observatory from re-opening. "There does not appear to be any kind of buffer between staff parking and the Dominion Observatory Complex." (From: A June 18, 2021 letter from Heritage Ottawa to Sean Moore, Planner, City of Ottawa - Impact to the CEF NHS, Federal-Designated Structures and Rideau Canal.)
