Why the Civic Hospital should not be located on the Experimental Farm.

 Unauthorized uses:

• Any use or works deemed incompatible with the protection of natural habitats.
• Commercial uses---a massive parking garage is currently being constructed and it will generate revenue. Also, the people of Ottawa have not been told why the Carling Towers are being built---are they hotels, residential condos, or living spaces for out-of-town visitors and hospital employees. 
• Public infrastructure-hospital infrastructure is not permitted on land that is adjacent to the Rideau Canal UNESCO World Heritage Site or part of a National Historic Site. (From: Capital Urban Lands Plan, National Capital Commission, page 57/124- December 17, 2021.) As I mentioned before, the United Nations will remove the designation UNESCO World Heritage Site from the Rideau Canal if the Ottawa Hospital is constructed and if the Chateau Laurier Hotel addition proceeds.

  

  National Historic Sites have buffer zones. Sites include the Parliamentary Precinct, the Experimental Farm and Dominion Observatory.

   

Building a provincial or municipal hospital on the Farm is unconstitutional. "The National Interest" from the 1975-1976 NCC Annual Report: "It has been argued by some that only municipal authorities have the responsibility for promulgating and implementing region-wide planning in the National Capital Region. The Commission holds that this view is unconstitutional. Provincial and municipal authorities have responsibility for local concerns in their respective jurisdictions in the Region. But their responsibilities cannot be construed as representing the national interest. Neither can they be substituted for national concerns or interests. If Parliament had not wanted to see a national character for the Capital, it would not have created a national agency for that purpose."
