Federal land.

"Waterfront Open Space is land intended to be in public ownership and intended for public recreation and environmental conservation uses." The Hon. Anne Cools, the Senate of Canada, April 23, 2002. Moffat Farm near Mooney's Bay was an 84-acre park owned by Veterans Affairs Canada. The park was part of the Greenbelt and it was untouchable:

"It was confirmed that the land in question was acquired by the federal government to commemorate World War 11 veterans and became NCC property in 1960. Mr. Lindsay indicated Moffat Farm was designated in the Regional Official Plan of 1977 and in subsequent amendments in 1988 and 1997 as Waterfront Open Space which precluded residential development. The property was designated for federal land use as a capital park of National Interest." (City of Ottawa Planning and Development, Moffat Farm February 28, 2002.) 

As I mentioned before, National Interest Land Mass holdings cannot be sold and they will be owned by the NCC/the people of Canada in perpetuity. The NILM  includes Gatineau Park, the Ottawa Greenbelt, the Experimental Farm on Carling Avenue, scenic parkways, land beside the parkways, 24 Sussex Drive, Rideau Hall, etc (Google: 1988-09-15-TB-re-NCC.) 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Senator Anne Cools:"Honourable Senators, this inquiry is about the destiny of our national capital city's parklands, the vocation of parkland to serve Canadian mothers, fathers and children's needs to interact with nature, Ottawa's greenspace and the historic Rideau Canal. The Rideau Canal, its waterfront parklands, greenspaces, historic locks, bridges and stonework are part of the heritage and beauty of our capital city."

"... This inquiry is about the National Capital Commission and its endeavors to sell a national capital parkland. These are public lands. They are not the private land holdings of a private developer...There is burgeoning public unhappiness about the destiny of the national capital parklands and historic land sites. The public has great affection for Moffat Farm and the other parklands, like Vincent Massey Park and Hog's Back Park, which are similarly zoned and similarly at risk. The public fears that many other public parklands, like the Experimental Farm and the Arboretum are on the NCC's list for sale."
