Talk:Centre Block

message: Skeezix, you recently changed the link in the ownership section of the infobox from Queen in Right of Canada to Government of Canada. I've put it back to the original version as the reason I linked the way I did was to avoid confusion over the term "government of Canada". As the article Government of Canada rightly states, "the word government is used to refer both to the whole set of institutions that govern the country, as well as the current political leadership." As the buildings on Parliament Hill are owned neither by a set of institutions, nor any political leadership, and do sit on what is known commonly as Crown land, it seemed most clear and accurate to state the owner of the parliament buildings is the federal Crown - a singularly definable entity. Perhaps there needs to be better explanation somewhere about what the term "Crown in Right of Canada" means, but changing terms to those that are more loosely defined and not really accurate doesn't seem to be the best answer. Do you agree? --Miesianiacal (talk) 17:37, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Just wanted to add to this. First off, Miesianiacal is quite right. The Queen in Right of Canada is the rightful owner of the Centre Block, not the "Government of Canada" (I assume, by saying that, your referring to the current political leadership?). Anyhow, even if you are referring to the current political leadership, the correct term would be Her Majesty's Government in Canada, as opposed to the loosely defined "Government of Canada". Legally, Parliament Hill is Crown land and the buildings on it are owned by the Crown of Canada (or the Crown in Right of Canada). --Knowzilla 15:51, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: While I agree that the correct "owner" is the Crown, I think it is inaccurate to describe the "client" as the "crown."  It would be more accurate to describe the "client" as the Parliament of Canada.PoliSciMaster (talk) 06:14, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
