Our opinion is that the NCC should not be allowed to divest lands that are a part of the national interest land mass, quite simply.
We feel that Gatineau Park is already too small for the riches contained in that environment to be well protected. We have approached the NCC on a few occasions to talk about lands that were available outside the park for the purpose of establishing a buffer zone or annexing those lands to the park itself.
However, we were told that that was not a part of the current mandate. Consequently, we believe that the NCC should not be allowed to do that.
