THE NATIONAL CAPITAL COMMISSION

LA COMMISSION DE LA CAPITALE NATIONALE

The National Capital Commission is a Crown Corporation. It operates under powers set out in the National Capital Act which received assent on September 5, 1958 and subsequently proclaimed on February 6, 1959. The Commission is the successor to the Federal District Commission (1927-1959)which in turn was preceded by the Ottawa Improvement Commission (1899-1927).

La Commission de Ia Capitale nationale est une societe de Ia Couronne. Ses pouvoirs rel?lvent de Ia Loi sur Ia Capitale nationale, sanctionnee le 5 septembre 1958 et proclamee le 6 fevrier 1959. La Commission d'embellissement de Ia ville d 'Ottawa (1899-1927) et Ia Commission du district federa I (1927-1959) sont ses predecesseurs. Buts et objets Selon les stipulations de !'article 10 (1) de Ia Loi sur Ia Capitale nationale, Ia Commission a pour buts et objets:

Objects and Purposes The objects and purposes of the Commission are defined in Section 10 (1) of the National Capital Act. They are:

"de preparer des plans d 'amenagement, de conservation et d'embellissement de Ia region de Ia Capitale nationale et d'y aider, afin que Ia nature et le caractere du siege du gouvernement du Canada puissent Mre en harmon ie avec son importance nationale."

"to prepare plans for and assist in the development, conservation and improvement of the National Capital Region in order that the nature and character of the seat of the Government of Canada may be in accordance with its national significance."

La coordination des plans d'urbanisme avec les diverses administrations municipales de Ia region de 1,800 milles carres de Ia capitale nationale constitue un aspect important du travai I de Ia Commission. Celle-ci est en rapportavec72municipalites du Quebec et de I'Ontario.

An important aspect of the work of the Commission is the co-ordination of planning with the local governments operating within the 1,800 square miles of the National Capital Region. The Commission deals with 72 local municipal authorities in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec.

Pouvoirs et limitations de Ia Commission Les pouvoirs de Ia Commission sont enonces dans Ia Loi sur Ia Capitate nationale, Ia Loi sur !'administration financiere et dans d'autres directives gouvernementales.

Powers and Limitations The Commission operates within limits prescribed by the National Capital Act, the Financial Administration Act and other government directives.

Le role fondamental de Ia Commission consiste a dresser des plans d'urbanisme et a aider a l'amenagement de Ia region de Ia capitale nationale. Le Commission peut acquerir des proprietes, et les amenager, construire et entretenir des routes, des ponts, des pares et autres oeuvres publiques. Elle entreprend en plus des travaux de concert avec les municipalites, construit et g~re des concessions, accorde des octrois a certaines fins et entretient des bdtiments historiques.

The primary role of the Commission is to plan for and assist in the development of the National Capital Region. The Commission can acquire and develop property, construct and maintain roads, bridges, porks and other public works. It can undertake joint projects with municipalities, construct and operate concessions, make grantsfor various purposes and maintain historic buildings.

La Commission doit obtenir !'approbation du gouvernement federal pour tous ses plans et debourses. Elle ne peut acquerir une propriete immobiliere de plus de $25,000, ou vendre un terrain de plus de $10,000, sans le consentement du gouverneur en consei I par l'intermediaire du Conseil du Tresor.

All the projects and expenditures of the Commission require government approval. The approval of the Governor-in-Council must be obtained through the Treasury Board prior to the acquisition of any property valued at more than $25,000 or before any land valued at over $10,000 is sold. Approval of the Governor-inCouncil is also required before the Commission takes or acquires land without the consent of the owner. Authority must also be sought and granted before the Commission enters into leases of property for more than five years, when it enters into joint projects with municipalities, undertakes construction, or makes grants. Treasury Board approval must be secured before major contracts can be awarded.

L'autorisation du gouverneur en consei I est aussi de rigueur lorsque Ia Commission entend acquerir des terrains sans le consentement des proprietaires; conclure des baux de plus de cinq ans; entreprendre des projets de concert avec des municipalites; accorder des subventions ou entreprendre des travaux de construction. Le Consei I du Tresor doit aussi approuver tousles contrats d'importance majeure decernes par Ia Commission.
