The annex at 1740 Woodroffe Avenue and Commissioners Park are still part of the National Interest Land Mass.
House of Commons Ottawa May 25, 2010 Mr. Marcel Proulx (Hull-Aylmer, Liberal): "...The national capital region has something that sets it apart from other national capitals: green space in its core. This space is the result of a planning process that dates back many years to the time of the Greber plan...But our green space is facing increased pressure and being sized up for other purposes...We are the trustees and custodians of our region's heritage, and it is our duty to protect the greenbelt."

The National Capital Commission cannot remove the designations National Interest Land Mass and National Historic Site of Canada from the 1,000 acre Farm on Carling Avenue. A municipal hospital, LRT, private corporations, high rise residential towers and parking garages cannot intrude upon this federal property. That is owned by all the citizens of Canada.
"The Central Experimental Farm is designated in its entirety as part of the National Interest Land Mass. These lands are essential for the long-term symbolism, functions, physical structure and natural and cultural landscapes of the Capital.
National Interest Land Mass - The NILM consists of "National shrines, the river and canal banks, the Gatineau Park and the Greenbelt in the National Capital Region...considered essential to the realization of the Vision of the Capital...There are 37 individual parcels of property in this category currently owned by the NCC totaling some 44,200 ha in area"
"Land forming part of the NILM will be retained by the NCC on behalf of the government in perpetuity, for purposes which lie at the core of the NCC's mandate, and will be managed by the NCC with little or no further management by the Treasury Board Secretariat."
