The Quebec Bridge between Levis, Quebec and Quebec City. House of Commons Ottawa March 24, 2010 MP Brian Jean, Conservative: "Madam Speaker, I am very pleased to speak to Motion No. 423 regarding the acquisition of the Quebec Bridge from the Canadian National Railway.

"KPMG says Parks Canada bridges and dams are prime candidates for sell-off" by Dean Beeby. On the sell-off list: Bridges and dams on the Rideau Canal from Ottawa to Kingston; Chambly, Lachine, Trent Severn and Saint-Ours Canal. Parks Canada does not believe that the properties have any heritage or cultural value. Collectively the infrastructure is worth $1 billion 225 million dollars. 

Repeated efforts to sell or give away the Rideau Canal - House of Commons June 10, 1922 - "...I should like the minister to decide before twelve o'clock tonight to abandon this canal and hand over to the city of Ottawa the greater part of it, retaining the lower part for railway purposes...I hope he will advise the city of Ottawa that he is prepared to donate the canal to them."

House of Commons June 10, 1922 Mr. Graham (Minister of Militia and Defence; Minister of the Naval Service) Liberal: "The Rideau chain of lakes forms one of the most beautiful spots on the whole North American continent. There is no question of that in the mind of anyone who has seen them. There are many bright little towns bordering these lakes-Westport, Portland, Smiths Falls, Perth and many others I could name. I would hesitate to give away this waterway that belongs to Canada."

 1960's - Dismantle the waterway and build a highway from the Capital to Kingston.

House of Commons Ottawa March 25, 1970 "...Today we have the Trent Canal and the Rideau Canal system still under the jurisdiction of the federal government because it was originally a defence measure. Surely that is no longer so and they could easily be transferred to the province." The  Trudeau government refused.

November 27, 1974 - The government refuses to sell the waterway.

August 26, 2017 - "Parks Canada to look at divesting highways, bridges, dams" by Dean Beeby, CBC News. The infrastructure is worth $8.7 billion dollars. Who gave the former Minister of Environment and Climate Change the power to privatize billions of dollars of Crown property---the Rideau Canal, Chambly, Lachine, Trent Severn and Saint-Ours waterways. And a National Historic Site on Carling Avenue.
