It's privately funded from my understanding, and no one is talking about an NHL team. You're thinking of Quebec City.
Ottawa's spending $250 million on a new 5,500 seat arena for the OHL. That dosen't include demolishing the 10k seat Civic Centre. Can't help but wonder how much cheaper it would have been to renovate the old, larger arena. No one bothered to ask.
So I think $300 million, privatly funded reno is a good deal.
