Narrative:

On approach; after gear extension; a low quantity/low pressure green hydraulic ECAM occurred due to loss of hydraulic fluid. I made the decision to continue the approach and landing while the first officer accomplished the ECAM procedure. The aircraft was landed without incident and the runway was cleared. Tower was advised of our hydraulic system loss and the need to be towed to the gate due to loss of primary brakes and nose wheel steering. The company was notified as were the passengers. At the gate it was determined that due to a lack of parts the continuing flight segment was canceled.
