Ottawa, Ontario 445- 447 Sussex Drive HERITAGE CHARACTER STATEMENT The building at 445-447 Sussex Drive was constructed in the 1840s, for Charles Sparrow, a Lowertown merchant and entrepreneur who once served as mayor of Bytown. It is now the property of the National Capital Commission. See FHBRO Building Report 88-09. Reason for Designation 445-447 Sussex Drive was designated Recognized because it was one of the earliest masonry structures constructed for commercial purposes in Lowertown, during a phase of development which saw the pioneer community transformed into a permanent and prospering nineteenth-century urban centre, and because it provides continuity to the historic commercial streetscape along Sussex Drive. Character Defining Elements The heritage value of 445-447 Sussex Drive resides in the composite character of its exterior fabric which attests to a construction history of an additive nature. A formal treatment in ashlar masonry, relieved only by a decorative cornice, identifies the Sussex Drive elevation as the principal façade. Roughly dressed masonry and the placement of the windows on the Murray Street elevation recall the two-and-a-half storey, pitched roof form of the original building. Ashlar masonry and a regular pattern of fenestration distinguish the three storey addition fronting onto Murray Street as a separate structure. All these features reflect the building's evolution and should be preserved. It is important to retain the direct access from the shops to the street, on both Murray and Sussex Drive. Opening up the blocked ground floor apertures along Murray Street would enhance the appearance of the building and consolidate its close relationship with the street. A mixed use arrangement which combines commercial premises on the ground floor with residential or office accommodation on the upper storeys, maintains a traditional pattern of use and reinforces the heritage character of the building. 1989.07.31 .

In response to the specific questions posed in the Tribunal’s e-mail, Canada confirms its position that the information that it seeks is both (i) not in the schedules in Section 10 and the figures in Appendix B of the Deloitte Expert Report (CER-1); and (ii) cannot be deduced from the information the Claimant has provided in its submission of August 7, 2020, including the Memorial, the Deloitte Expert Report, and accompanying documents. Canada explains in more detail below. First, the Claimant states that its damages model could be recreated by copying and pasting the figures provided in Schedules 1-8 into Excel.1 This is incorrect.

1. History Place of Peace
1. History Place of peace Canada in the early 19th century was a magnet for young, ambitious immigrants. One of these was young Joseph Merrill Currier from Vermont. He came north in 1837 at the young age of 17, and stayed to make a fortune in the lumber trade. In 1853, he brought his young family to the village of New Edinburgh on the Rideau River, where he rented a lumber mill at the Rideau Falls. By 1855, Joseph and Christina Currier had four children and were thriving as part of the business elite of Ottawa. Then tragedy struck. That year, three of the children died, followed — an inconsolable three years later — by their mother. In the next few years, Currier tried his hand at politics — provincial and national — and he married again. His young wife died in an industrial accident within two months of the wedding. In 1868, he took a third wife, Hannah Wright, the granddaughter of pioneers. Joseph built a house as a wedding gift to his wife, setting it near the forests and water that had made his fortune. As an omen that his personal sufferings were at an end, he called the house “Gorffwysfa,” which means “place of peace” in Welsh. 24 Sussex Drive gatehouse and residence Social life Hannah and Joseph Currier moved into their new house in 1868 and almost immediately held a reception for 500 people, including virtually all of elite society in young Ottawa, including Sir John A. and Lady Macdonald. Two years later, they held a ball in honour of young Prince Arthur, son of Queen Victoria, and later Duke of Connaught and Governor General of Canada.

Pathway Network for Canada's Capital Region 2006 Strategic Plan PLANI
Pathway Network for Canada’s Capital Region 2006 Strategic Plan PLANI-CITÉ i June 2006 Pathway Network for Canada’s Capital Region 2006 Strategic Plan THE VISION The National Capital Commission (NCC) and its partners propose the following as a framework for the planning and development of the Capital Pathway network for the next 10 years: Multi-purpose use The Capital Pathway network covers Canada’s Capital Region in its entirety. It is a multi-purpose recreational and tourist network, which also supports non-motorized commuting vocations. Accessibility and safety The network extends to and links natural and built areas. Through its layout and design standards, the network encourages a quality user experience and accessibility, emphasizing the recognition of the “Green Capital”, and highlighting symbolic points of interest within the Capital. The network provides access to waterways, green spaces, cultural and heritage features while supporting the protection of natural areas and offering a wide range of easily accessible services. User education and awareness programs targeting pathway sharing in a respectful and tolerant manner result in a safe and pleasant experience. Connectivity The network, through its linkage with local cycling routes and regional/national trails, is connected to other non-motorized transportation networks within the region to encourage sustainable transportation and forms a key component of Canada’s Capital recreational and cycling experience. Recognition The network, as a result of its multi use vocation, its extensive and far reaching system of pathways and connection with regional, provincial and national trails and pathways within and outside Canada’s Capital Region as well as the quality of the experience is regarded as one of North America’s best.

The Plan for Canada's Capital
Judicial i This page is intentionally left blank for printing purposes. ii The Plan for Canada’s Capital 2017 to 2067 NATIONAL CAPITAL COMMISSION June 2016 iii The Capital of an extensive country, rapidly growing in population and wealth, possessed of almost unlimited water power for manufacturing purposes, and with a location admirably adapted not only for the building of a great city, but a city of unusual beauty and attractiveness. (…) Not only is Ottawa sure to become the centre of a large and populous district, but the fact that it is the Capital of an immense country whose future greatness is only beginning to unfold, (…) and that it be a city which will reflect the character of the nation, and the dignity, stability, and good taste of its citizens. Frederick Todd, 1903 “Preliminary Report to the Ottawa Improvement Commission” pp.1-2 iv EXECUTIVE SUMMARY For more than a century, the National Capital Commission (NCC) and its predecessors have embraced urban planning to promote the development, conservation and improvement of the National Capital Region, with the aim of ensuring that the nature and character of the seat of the Government of Canada is in accordance with its national significance. The consequences of these planning efforts have been the creation of parks and open spaces, public shorelines, campuses and clusters of government institutions, monuments and symbolic boulevards. This plan charts the future of federal lands in the National Capital Region between Canada’s sesquicentennial in 2017 and its bicentennial in 2067. It will shape the use of federal lands, buildings, parks, infrastructure and symbolic spaces to fulfill the vision of Canada’s Capital as a symbol of our country’s history, diversity and democratic values, in a dynamic and sustainable manner.

Government of Canada Canada writes to request permission from the Tribunal to submit the following new legal authority into the record prior to the Tribunal’s decision on bifurcation: Westmoreland Mining Holdings LLC v. Government of Canada (ICSID Case No. UNCT/20/3) Procedural Order No. 3, Decision on Bifurcation, dated 20 October 2020 [the “Decision”]. Should the Tribunal so permit, Canada similarly requests permission from the Tribunal for both disputing parties to make brief, concise written submissions on the relevance of the Decision to Canada’s Renewed Request for Bifurcation. The Westmoreland tribunal issued the Decision on October 20, 2020. It was therefore not avaiable to Canada at the time Canada submitted its Renewed Request for Bifurcation on September 21, 2020. As the Decision was only publicly released within the past week, this is the earliest opportunity for Canada to introduce the Decision into the record. This new legal authority contains a decision by a NAFTA Chapter Eleven tribunal on Canada’s Request for Bifurcation in Westmoreland. The Westmoreland tribunal’s reasoning and conclusion on this matter are, in certain regards, directly relevant to Canada’s Renewed Request for Bifurcation in this arbitration.
