The National Capital Commission can be prevented from giving away the Experimental Farm.

Senate of Canada Ottawa May 8, 2002 Senator Noel Kinsella---A Recall Mechanism: "Honourable Senators, I would like to make a few remarks with reference to this matter now before the Senate...This matter relates to the National Capital Act, which created the National Capital Commission. It seems to me we require a provision for a recall mechanism. Section 10 (20) of the (National Capital) act, which gives the power to the National Capital Commission to sell lands held in trust, could be amended by Parliament or a parliamentary committee upon the receipt for example of 1,000 signatures of citizens from any part of Canada."

The Reimagine Ottawa petition had 10, 632 signatures as of July 7, 2023. Save the Farm, call for an inquiry. Change.org Petition.

House of Commons Ottawa March 24, 1986 MP Jean-Robert Gauthier (Chief Opposition Whip; Whip of the Liberal Party) Ottawa-Vanier: Mr. Gauthier: "Mr. Speaker, my question is directed to the Deputy Prime Minister. Will he tell the House of Commons if it is federal policy to sell federally owned parkland?"

Mr. Jean-Robert Gauthier-Ottawa-Vanier: Request for government directive prohibiting sale of national parklands: "...NCC Chairman Jean Pigott recently said she wants to sell part of an Ottawa riverfront park known as Mile Circle to the United States of America for an embassy compound. Is the Government in favour of selling our natural parklands?"

The Fletcher Wildlife Garden, Arboretum, Ornamental Gardens, Macoun Memorial Garden, Historic Hedge Collection, Experimental Farm Woods and Queen Juliana Park are all federally-owned parklands. savecfbrockcliffe.

"The Experimental Farm forms a central park within a residential area of the City of Ottawa." (Greber Report of 1950, page 167/395.)

The Holt Commission of 1915 "Extensive parks and playgrounds were recommended including the acquirement of lands in the Laurentian Hills for a National Park, and the development of Dow's Lake and its adjacent land as a recreational centre was strongly urged." (Greber Report, page 199/395 and the article includes a photo.)

Todd Report of 1903  "A Capital City belongs to a certain extent to the whole country and should not be placed in such a position that any one man or company of men can have it in their power to seriously mar its beauty, and thus throw discredit on the nation. As a Capital City, the parks and open spaces should be numerous, and ample boulevards and parkways should skirt the different waterways as well as connect the principal parks and different public buildings." (Greber Report page 192/395.)

Designate the Lebreton Flats a National Park, do not convert Major's Hill into a Chateau Laurier annex and under no conditions consider Confederation Park the home for a stadium.
