Negotiations on the future of Wellington Street in front of Parliament Hill appear to have stalled, more than a year after the federal government and the City of Ottawa began talks on the street.
Public Services and Procurement Canada tells CTV News Ottawa it has not received a "formal rejection or counter-offer from the city" as part of a draft framework developed in April 2023. However, Mayor Mark Sutcliffe says no formal offer has been received by Ottawa City Hall.
PSPC says Mayor Sutcliffe and the federal government launched formal discussions in April 2023, and the framework "outlines a proposal for a transfer, and includes an offer aligned with PSPC's commitment to ensure that the city is fairly compensated for the transfer." "Parliamentary, federal and municipal stakeholders are working together to explore the best ways of ensuring the Parliamentary Precinct campus is more secure and also remains open and accessible for those who work, live in and visit the area," PSPC said. "The future vision of Wellington Street is a key element in these plans, and the City of Ottawa is a key partner in this work.
