The great giveaway of public land.

 A few years ago the National Capital Commission donated 50 acres of publicly-owned land to a hospital.The Dow's Lake parking lot alone is worth $4,021,000 dollars---MP Pierre Poilievre discovered this information. The property is being rezoned to Mixed-Use and not Institutional. 

The Federal District Commission is now called the National Capital Commission:

House of Commons Ottawa February 21, 1928 Mr. Thomas Langton Church (Toronto Northwest) Conservative. Mr. Church: "...The Federal District Commission, headed by the Hon. Thomas Ahearn, proposed the other day to give away eleven acres of land at Rockcliffe for an American embassy. Did anyone ever hear of the Right Hon. Uncle Sam giving away anything for nothing, or giving anything away down at Washington for Mr. Massey's embassy, for which we had to pay nearly half a million dollars and $120,000 for the maintenance of this magnificent minister in the city of Washington?"

"I never heard of Mr. Ahearn giving away any of his own money in this way but he is ready, through the Federal District Commission, to give away this splendid public site for an American embassy. The government should have a house cleaning in connection with the Federal District Commission if that is the way they conduct business. If that is the kind of commission it is, ready to give away public property in that way, the sooner the government gets rid of the Federal District Commission the better it will be for the so-called Washington of the north."
