The Royal Canadian Navy Curling Club at Dows Lake may have to move because their rent was increased 1,000 percent. The Canadian Tulip Festival had to "Uproot their relationship with the NCC" because holding events at Commissioners Park and Major's Hill Park was too pricey.

House of Commons Ottawa September 16, 2009 MP Steven Blaney: "...Other properties found in the Greenbelt are Commissioners Park, where there is a display of 100,000 tulips."

Mr. J.A. Byrne: "For several years the Department of Transport had withheld action on disposal of any substantial parcel of federal lands owned by that department adjacent to the Rideau system which might be suitable for general public recreational development...The problem of pollution referred to would appear to be a matter within the jurisdiction of the provincial government and it is understood that provincial authorities have been concerning themselves actively with this problem."
