It's funny you make that comment because Calgary City council just spent 7 days doing the budget. It wasn't until they were into day 4 (I think?) that some on council realized that procedure limited each councillor to 5 minutes on discussion each. So they started enforcing that and started progressing much faster. Toronto's committee structure limits councillor's to three minutes I think and that's with question and answer, because I know Councillor Vaughn nailed the people doing the core service review on their recommendation to privitize the TTC (great clip on Youtube, makes you wonder about Ford's agenda).
I can't see how a delay is a good thing here...but the head of the Planning/Infrastructure Dept was clear when they approved the $20 million that if it passed, he'd begin talking to private business for investment. He made the point quite clearly and it makes you wonder: Is private business onboard? Does the delay mean that they have someone on board but need time to iron out some things? Or is there no interest?
I wouldn't want HRM to do a survey on CFL interest - but having used a survey company for one of my projects, I can tell you that a balanced online survey can run between 50 to 70,000$. Of course a simple surveymonkey typed survey would be quite a bit less, but not as valid statistically.
