House of Commons Ottawa March 19, 1998 MP Rick Laliberte (Churchill River) NDP:"...Our parks are a sacred sanctuary, they are part of our national identity."
House of Commons Ottawa February 24, 1970 The Hon. Jack Marshall (Humber-St. Georges-St. Barbe) Liberal: "National parks are a national domain set aside by the Parliament of Canada for all the people."
House of Commons Ottawa March 19, 1998 Mr. Nelson Riis (Kamloops) NDP: "Members can probably tell that I do not support Bill C-29 at this point. This bill involves a great of Canada:
- 31 national parks
- 786 historical sites
- a number of historical canal systems (for example the Rideau Canal.)
- 661 sites that are managed by third parties that are ecologically and environmentally significant.
- 165 heritage railway stations
- and 31 river systems.
Mr. Howard Hillstrom (Selkirk-Interlake, Manitoba) Reform: "Mr. Speaker, I am quite interested in the financial aspects of this bill. Is there a possibility of foreign interests getting involved in our parks system?"
Mr. Nelson Riis: "Obviously the answer is yes. We lack a national parks policy, just as we lack a national waterways policy or a national highway policy."
Note: During the year 2017, Parks Canada wanted to sell $8 billion dollars worth of infrastructure, including all the Rideau Canal bridges and dams from Ottawa to Kingston. And highways, bridges, culverts, dams, etc. in Canadian national parks. savecfbrockcliffe.
