But Agriculture Minister Eugene Whelan and Agriculture Minister Bud Olson refused to hand over the land. As I also mentioned before, 91 acres of the Experimental Farm were sold to the City of Ottawa in 1988-89---the Clyde-Merivale lands north of Baseline Road. Real estate that was owned by all Canadians is now occupied by Walmart, different stores and a subdivision called Central Park. Agriculture Minister John Wise never wanted any Farm land sold, Google: House of Commons Ottawa May 13, 1988.)
• 2045-2048 - University of Ottawa Heart Institute Expansion. Emphasis mine.
