Transport committee  Thank you.

Transport committee  Yes, it's basically where we're coming from. In actual fact, we started at the very beginning, 10 years ago, saying that it should become a national park. And in fact, we have had a letter from the chief executive officer saying that it doesn't have to be a national park, but we

Transport committee  I'm fine with what's in the bill, yes. Nobody will ever do anything to the Mackenzie King Estate, now that they've built that horrible road through it.

Transport committee  John will do that.

Transport committee  Absolutely. Oh yes, it wouldn't change that. They already are changing the places that are being used too much, such as the area where they were climbing. That's where they are in fact doing the restoration.

Transport committee  The way I understand it is that if Mr. X wants to move out of the park and sell his house, he'd offer it to the NCC first. The NCC could either buy it or not, depending on the price.

Transport committee  I don't think we can.

Transport committee  The NCC wouldn't accept that.

Transport committee  Well, it's only giving them the right of first refusal; it's not saying they have to buy it at any price.

Transport committee  Mr. Proulx, I think the NCC would get an independent appraiser and I doubt that they would go above fair market price. They would go for the fair market price.

Transport committee  That's right, yes.

Transport committee  We don't think that should be allowed.

Transport committee  We think that should be the case. No more.

Transport committee  Except there is a lot of land not built on that is private property.

Transport committee  I think the NCC is meeting with these people. Several have in fact sold to the NCC already, but it is a long, slow process.
