Minister of the Environment John Baird, Minister of the Environment Jim Prentice and many more Parliamentarians prevented the city from getting their hands on the Greenbelt. Now the municipality will have to rely on the above-listed holdings to fulfill their intensification agenda:

"Where land in a Natural Environment Area, Urban Natural Feature, or Major Open Space designation is in the ownership of a public body or agency, such as the National Capital Commission or a Conservation Authority, and where this property is not required to achieve their interests as expressed in their plans, and where this public body seeks to have the City acquire these lands, the City will proceed in accordance with policies c.) and d.) above." (Ontario Municipal Board decision, March 30, 2006, under appeal.)
