It would be different if they were just walking down the street and someone was handing out free studies. Then it would make sense to say, "Hey someone is handing out free estimates. No harm in taking one, right?" But studies cost money and distract from other more productive things.

Agreed. It's more of a typical Nova Scotia spread the money around create some jobs than anything serious. I guess all of the $600k will be spent on local salaries. The obsession in the province that Halifax gets special treatment when it's the only urban place is just weird.
