House of Commons Ottawa February 23, 1982 Mr. Erik Nielsen (Official Opposition House Leader; Progressive Conservative Party House Leader): "...As the President of the Treasury Board is aware-and I see his colleague the Minister of Public Works sitting beside him-Canada's Department of Public Works is probably the biggest landlord in the world with well over $40 billion of property, real and other, in its list of assets..."
PWGSC Minister Erik Nielsen was interviewed by Stevie Cameron: "The largest chunk of money in the federal government is in its real estate holdings. My guess, based on preliminary research I had gathered, was that it was pushing $60 billion." (Page 268 of the book "On the Take" by Stevie Cameron.)
Public Works donated the 14-acre Queen Juliana park to a hospital. Many trees have already been clearcut and a bulldozer is digging up the ground in preparation for a parking garage:
