Errr, your wrong on some of the things surrounding the HSC. Only the CSRP (critical services redevelopment project) is wholly gov't funded. Then again it is an operating room and the option of private health care doesn't exist.
However, the Siemens Institute for Advanced Medicine will receive the vast majority of its funding and initial operating capital from private donors, Siemens, and Canad Inns (who on top of this will pay royalties on each dollar the hotel brings in to the HSC)
In the case of Siemens, the institute itself will act as a experimental lab and showroom for the latest and greatest in Siemens technology in the area of medical technology and life sciences.
You'd be proud of the marriage between the private and public sector on this one Newflyer.
I can't disclose too many more of the details. but I think the institute will be a hit.
