The National Capital Commission is “very pleased” with the community response to the two LeBreton Flats redevelopment plans, a spokesman said.
Public consultations closed Monday at midnight and the NCC said Tuesday that it has received 7,939 online questionnaires from Canadians.

LeBreton Re-Imagined also calls for an NHL arena, but Senators’ owner Eugene Melnyk has repeatedly said he has no interest in selling the team or moving it to an arena he does not own.
