Just in case you missed anything, Chad, here are some of the latest ones (note it appears its going to be a whole makeover of the original building as well, not just a simple building attachment):

Once completed, the expansion will make it the fourth-largest publicly owned convention centre in Canada, behind facilities in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver.

It should also include at least one high rise, iirc (most likely a hotel), though it may not be the original "on top of expansion" design as was previously shown in preliminary designs several years ago

Lahr and government officials said the expansion is expected to trigger a number of other new downtown projects, including two new hotels adjacent to the convention centre.
One is believed to be a new $15-million, seven-storey, 108-room Lakeview Hotel that Winnipeg's Lakeview Management Inc. plans to build on a surface parking lot it owns immediately west of the existing convention centre.
...
But no one would reveal where the second hotel is likely to be built, or who is likely to build it. Lahr said that's up to the private sector but he'd like it to be connected to the convention centre via a skywalk and to have at least 250 to 300 rooms.
There has been speculation the other hotel might be built on the site of the Carleton Inn, north of the convention centre on Carleton Street. But Lahr said he doesn't know what sites are being considered.

might even be a "third" hotel (Lakeview's second, potentially 15 storeys) depending on competition
