Leave Parliament Hill alone.

 Who is digging a giant crater in front of the Centre Block of Parliament? Why is the city building Light Rail infrastructure on the Hill?

The Holt Report of 1915, page 111: "Parliament Hill, because of the importance of its buildings and its natural elevation, is and always must be the dominant feature of Ottawa. All other parts of the Government group must be subordinated to this, architecturally as well as actually, and instead of rivalling or competing it should increase its relative importance and enhance the beauty and dignity of its buildings."
