7.0 Confederation Heights|City of Ottawa- "The open space and park areas along the Rideau River will be retained as part of the City's Greenway System and will continue to serve as major recreational areas with active recreation and leisure facilities provided at Mooney's Bay and the RA Centre. Hog's Back Park and Vincent Massey Park will be maintained as passive open space areas."
How generous you are, to "retain" open space and park areas. Tunney's Pasture, Confederation Heights, Mooney's Bay, the RA Centre, Hog's Back Park and Vincent Massey Park are federal properties, owned by all of the citizens of Canada. Who gave a mayor and local politicians the power to change the capital city of a western democracy? Ottawa belongs to all Canadians. The Mayor of London, England does not have the power to sell Hyde Park or Kensington Gardens or the British Broadcasting Corporation.
The Confederation Heights redevelopment includes the former CBC Headquarters at 1500 Bronson Avenue.
1999 Plan for Canada's Capital - "...Key Capital Parks include Confederation, Jacques Cartier, Rockcliffe, Major's Hill, Rideau Falls, Commissioner's, Hog's Back/Vincent Massey, Leamy Lake, Brebeuf and LeBreton Common."
"Certain lands considered Capital Parks in the 1988 Plan "are no longer considered to fulfil this role as a result of the 1995-99 review" and include the Prince of Wales site except for the shore lands (Moffat Farm), and Shirley's Bay and Gatineau Park south of Gamelin Boulevard, which are both designated as Natural Heritage Areas like the rest of Gatineau Park and portions of the Greenbelt." (Google: NCC land holdings outside of Gatineau Park and the Greenbelt.)

I will not eat crickets, while at the same time a foreign billionaire purchased 100,000 acres of federal farmland from a Crown corporation.
Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau never wanted foreign entities to own Canadian transportation, communications and resource industries; the National Parks, federal Crown Corporations...the list goes on. Read the Federal Investment Review Agency document:
House of Commons Ottawa April 27, 1977. Pierre Elliot Trudeau (Prime Minister) Liberal.): "Mr. Speaker, might I take this opportunity to table an exchange of letters between the premiers and myself on the question of foreign ownership of land, in both official languages."
