He also dismisses the fact that compared to Quebec City, the Regina proposal has a much more detailed business plan, a pre-selected site and a professional sports team that is here now and wants a new facility to move in to. Mandryk doesn't give enough credit for the footwork that has already been done on this project. He just comes out and says that the Feds should not contribute. There is over 1 billion dollars in the P3 fund that the government WILL spend. Why not spend a bit in Saskatchewan? Not that I'm against asking tough questions on the viability of this project but I think his bias comes through a little too much in this article.
