COM Communications Research Facility, Ottawa West. 3.7900 ha. 2 buildings. Owned. 1241 Clyde Avenue Laboratory.
(Note: The Communications Research Facility was demolished after the government of Canada sold 91 acres of the Central Experimental Farm to the Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton. '1987-1988 - On July 8th 1987, Regional Council approved the purchase of approximately 91 acres of vacant land on the west side of Merivale Road north of Baseline Road, formerly part of the Central Experimental Farm'. Later, the Laurentian High School was demolished.
 Agriculture Minister John Wise never wanted Experimental Farm land to be sold: 

House of Commons Ottawa May 13, 1988 MP David Daubney (Ottawa West): "Mr. Speaker, my question is directed to the Minister of Agriculture. He will agree that the Central Experimental Farm partly located in my riding is the flagship of Agriculture Canada's excellent research effort and contributes greatly to the unique beauty and character of the nation's capital. Will he confirm for the House that the Government has no intention of disposing any of the Experimental Farm proper and in particular that part bordered by Merivale and Fisher Avenues in the City of Ottawa?"
Hon. John Wise (Minister of Agriculture): "Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the Hon. Member's continuing interest in the future of the Experimental Farm here in Ottawa. I want to indicate to him that Agriculture Canada, my Department, has no plans or thoughts whatsoever concerning disposing of any potion of that property at any time. There is no question about that."

Every government of Canada property that Canadians own is being transferred to a National Land Bank so that developers can build a hospital, housing and commercial facilities. We are losing The Experimental Farm; 250 Lanark Ave; 1500 Bronson; the Greenbelt Research Farm; post offices; armouries; the National Defence Medical Centre; a park on 870 Carling Avenue; the Lebreton Flats... Member of Parliament Dennis Mills told the House of Commons that within a year, with the help of Bill C-3 there will not be any Crown property left. Why were so many government of Canada buildings rented and not owned in 1992? The answer is revealed below:

House of Commons Ottawa November 22, 1991: Liberal MP for Broadview-Greenwood, Dennis Mills: "Madam Speaker, when I got up this morning and headed to the House I actually had no intention of speaking. Then in my office I read part of Bill C-3, an act respecting the acquisition, administration and disposition of real property by the Government of Canada. As I started to reflect on what is really going on in this bill I became concerned. It concerns me that in one year, with the help of this bill, it is possible that there will be no Crown land assets left...I think of Toronto, my own city of Toronto, and the way this government has disposed of Harbourfront land. And the disposition of the CBC lands. This is a bill that is going to make the developers of every region and every city of Canada ecstatic."
