House of Commons Ottawa February 9, 1998 MP Marlene Catterall (Ottawa West-Nepean, Lib.) "Mr. Speaker, last week the Secretary of State for Parks and the minister of agriculture designated the Central Experimental Farm in Ottawa as a national historical site.
This does not mean that the farm will be frozen in time. It will continue to evolve as it has for 111 years but it will evolve in a way that is consistent with the important contribution it has made to agriculture in Canada and internationally.
It will be a permanent visible reminder in the nation's capital to all Canadians of the importance of agriculture to our economic and social development.
The people of this region are proud of the nation's capital and its national institutions. I know they will want to contribute to and be part of planning the future of the Central Experimental Farm, our newest national historical site."
