According to the NCC, the 2017-2067 plan will:
- Outline a vision for the use of federal lands, buildings, parks, transportation facilities and symbolic spaces in the capital;
- Ensure the capital remains nationally significant and supportive of federal institutions;
- And identify strategic principles and key projects that will reflect Canada’s growth as a nation.
