L'Esplanade Laurier - "Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada is the owner in fee simple of the property (the "Property") municipally known as 171-181 Bank Street, 140 O'Connor Street and 300 Laurier Avenue West, in the City of Ottawa, and commonly referred to as "L'Esplanade Laurier".

The citizens of Canada do not own the Rideau Canal. That is why Parks Canada told the United Nations that the government of Canada cannot control what happens to the waterway and adjacent land. (Google: May 2018 - "State of Conservation Report-Rideau Canal" and go to "November 14, 2019.") And why high rise towers will be permitted to block views of the Rideau Canal at Dows Lake, resulting in the UN removing the UNESCO designation from the waterway.
Also, all the infrastructure in the National Parks and Historic Canals will be sold---bridges, dams, culverts, highways, etc., Google: "Rideau Canal bridges and dams are prime candidates for sale." "Parks Canada to look at divesting highways, bridges and dams. Cash-strapped agency examines whether to divest non-heritage assets worth $8.3 billion dollars" by Dean Beeby, CBC News, August 26, 2017.

The 4,000 acre Greenbelt Research Farm was an annex of the Central Experimental Farm on Carling Avenue:

The National Capital Commission paid $1 dollar for the Greenbelt Research Farm.

"Behind closed doors, with no one allowed to watch or listen, the National Capital Commission ponders making deals with Nortel, battling El Nino and buying the Experimental Farm for $1 dollar." by Tom Spears, Ottawa Citizen, August 24, 1998."
"
1995 - "The government of Canada is getting out of the business of running Experimental Farms."
