Ottawa planning system is terrible and unfortunately with Leiper at the lead the new ZB will be a mess.

Totally agree and I deal with it day in day out. If given the choice of having a project in Ottawa or outside of Ottawa, I will pick the one outside of Ottawa every time. Planning staff working from home, ignoring requests for communication, churning files around and around, imposing 'guidelines' that are not 'requirements' and rarely if ever having feet on the ground (i.e actually going to the property in question as many planners are not physically located in Ottawa).
