From 32 minutes and 43 seconds into the video:
"Thank you for letting me speak, Mr. Chair and CEO, members of the board. Nice to meet you all tonight. I'm here to draw concern to your attention and it isn't that you're not more open than you used to be. But for those of you who live in Ottawa and listen to the news in Ottawa there has been a land development approval that was done by the NCC in the last month that has created a bit of a backlash. And the way you are re looking at the location of the Civic Hospital on the Experimental Farm, I would like you to account, not tonight, to account for the decision to approve the City of Ottawa's proposed development on Mooney's Bay Park, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site."
"There was no public consultation and the information has only come out in bits and pieces.
And I believe if you want to be an accountable organization when you have a decision that yields or garners a public backlash the way this particular decision has, and if you have been looking at the papers you know that it has, it is the duty of the organization to review the decision and to account and that is to explain how you fulfilled your responsibilities at this level. And you say its not an NCC responsibility, its a city responsibility. The city also hasn't reviewed or accounted for their decision.
