Parliament Bill

Parliamentary Service and other parliamentary bodies - Parliamentary Corporation - Functions, duties, and powers

146: Specific powers of Parliamentary Corporation

You could also call this:

"What the Parliamentary Corporation is allowed to do with its land and buildings"

Illustration for Parliament Bill

The Parliamentary Corporation can do certain things, like enter into contracts to buy or lease land or buildings. You can think of a building as a whole structure or just part of it. The Corporation can also sell or get rid of its interest in land or buildings. It can build new things, make changes to existing buildings, or improve the land. The Corporation can grant leases or licences over land or buildings it owns, and it can create rules about how that land or those buildings are used. It can also take on other responsibilities that are related to its jobs. This section of the bill does not limit what is said in section 145. Some words used here have specific meanings, like "encumbrance", which refers to things like mortgages or leases that affect the land or building. A "lease" can include a sublease, and a "licence" can include a sublicence.
