The idea of an ecological park to protect the forests and wetlands in the entire Montreal area (they're calling it the Montreal Archipelago, but I think the Hochelaga Archipelago would sound better and focus less on the urban domination that clearly irks mayors of major towns like Laval and Longueuil) is a nice one, but whether the protection will have any power against the big bucks waved around by developers remains to be seen.
