The NCC and the City of Ottawa are not protecting important views.

The Centre Block of Parliament and the Hill.

  High rise office buildings may be constructed on the Hill." At least the upper part of the silhouette of the Centre Block will remain unobscured...The Supreme Court, Confederation Building and the East and West Block and other Secondary National Symbols are afforded the second level of visual protection. The silhouette of background buildings may rise above the roofline of the Secondary National Symbols." (From: Canada's Capital Views Protection, page 96/153.)

The Lebreton Flats. House of Commons Debates November 23, 1967. The Hon. George McIlraith (Minister of Public Works) "...The LeBreton Flats were envisioned as a western extension to the Parliamentary Precinct. Buildings on or near the Parliamentary Precinct cannot be any taller than the Peace Tower."

 Chateau Laurier Hotel During the year 1969 Major's Hill Park land was expropriated to build a hotel parking garage. Now the garage has been torn down and a modern addition is being constructed on the site. The addition will block views of most of of Canada's Castle from Major's Hill Park. "I might point out that there will be a fine view from the parliament grounds of the back premises of the hotel." MP George William Fowler, House of Commons, July 6, 1908.

Experimental Farm  Hundreds of Experimental Farm trees are being clearcut, eventually, to accomodate a brand new medical centre. Former Ottawa mayors Jim Durrell and Jacquelin Holzman sent an open letter to the National Capital Commission about the loss of trees: Hundreds of trees would need to be cut down. Yes,we counted, but we stopped at 500! (From:"NCC Federal Site Review for the New Civic Campus at the Ottawa Hospital" October 21, 2016, Page 215/256.)

Also, the Greenbelt Alliance of Canada's Capital said that all of Isabella Preston's crabapple trees that line Prince of Wales Drive are endangered because the Drive is being widened.

An August 18, 1977 Ottawa Journal article.

House of Commons Ottawa February 9, 1998. MP Marlene Catterall (Ottawa West-Nepean) Liberal: Mr. Speaker, last week the Secretary of State for Parks and the minister of agriculture designated the Central Experimental Farm in Ottawa as a national historic site."

"That does not mean the farm will be frozen in time. It will continue to evolve as it has for 111 years but it will evolve in a way that is consistent with the important contribution it has made to agriculture in Canada and internationally."

"It will be a permanent reminder in the nation's Capital and to all Canadians of the importance of agriculture to our economic and social development. The people of this region are proud of the nation's Capital and it's national institutions. I know they will want to contribute to and be part of planning the Central Experimental Farm, our newest national historic site."

Earnscliffe, 140 Sussex Drive.

Ottawa River, Rideau River and Rideau Canal - The Greber Report of 1950 insisted that the National Capital Region was so so vast, that land adjacent to waterways was not necessary for housing or commercial development.

House of Commons Ottawa March 24, 1986. MP Jean-Robert Gauthier (Chief Opposition Whip, Whip of the Liberal Party) Ottawa-Vanier: "...My question is directed to the Deputy Prime Minister. Will he tell the House if it is federal policy to sell federally owned parklands? The NCC chairman...recently said she wants to sell part of an Ottawa riverfront park known as Mile Circle, to the United States of America for an embassy compound."

"...Mr. Speaker, could the Deputy Prime Minister inform the House whether it intends to act responsibly and give clear and precise instructions to all those who are responsible for our national parks, indicating clearly that none of our national parks are for sale." (Note: In the year 1925 the Ottawa Improvement Commission designated the Mile Circle near Rockcliffe a national park---MP Barry Turner (Ottawa-Carleton) House of Commons, April 9, 1986.)

The Greenbelt - A letter to Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson regarding the Mer Bleue Bog: "Dear Mayor Watson: CPAWS Ottawa Valley has long focused on the preservation of Ottawa and the surrounding ecological integrity, natural beauty and diverse species. It is as a CPAWS supporter that I learned of the proposed changes to the Greenbelt. As a resident of the National Capital Region, the Greenbelt is important to me...Mer Bleue is the most biologically diverse area in Eastern Ontario, an internationally recognized RAMSAR site and and living laboratory where scientists from around the world come to  learn about climate change, bogs and the species which depend on them."

Part of an August 24, 2019 letter to the Ottawa Citizen, regarding residential expansion into the Greenbelt: "The City of Ottawa recently released its discussion paper "5 Big Moves" as part of its Official Plan Review...Much of it is laudible, but Policy 3 under Growth Management is not. The policy states: 'Where urban expansion may be required in the future...consider the potential to expand into the Greenbelt.' Whoa! Ottawa is already at one million people and expected to grow more, but nowhere are they manufacturing any more greenspace...Once you permit urban development of the Greenbelt that greenspace is lost forever...In short, don't bother considering this option." Alex Cullen, Ottawa.
