Shockingly, I am of the same mind with Keith on this one. The Hamilton Convention Centre complex includes the Convention Centre, a concert hall and Copps Coliseum all in one (I think they are run by the same group). I can see some advantages from a convention centre perspective on including something like that so that various parts of the convention can have meetings rooms and a 'lecture' hall type thing.
If it can't go into Nova Centre though - then we have to recognize it as a want, not a need. So I'd say, if we want to have it...then we need to start doing some private financing to get it done. Or...could it be part of the battle of the Atlantic building somehow? Could be quite an interesting idea - private event, tour the museum and then go to the hall for a concert/event?
