"Much of the government-owned owned Ottawa-Gatineau portfolio is obsolete. There is room for the private development sector to create new space." (From: a PWGSC announcement in October of 2010.)
House of Commons Ottawa November 22, 1991 MP Dennis Mills (Broadview-Greenwood): (Concerning Bill C-3, changes to the Federal Real Property Act): "...It concerns me that in one year, with the support of this bill, it is possible there will be no Crown land assets left. I think of Toronto, my own city, and the way the government has disposed of the Harbourfront land and the CBC land. This is a bill that is going to make the developers of every region and city of Canada ecstatic."
