Did anyone actually pose this question to Scott Ferguson: How many events scheduled for the Nova Centre are new bookings as opposed to regular returnees?

This year the annual Cdn Assoc of Police Governance, i.e Police Boards, met in Halifax.
Groups such FCM -the municipal politicians gabfest that travels the country, as do Nurses, doctors, dentists, professional engineers, architects, accountants, lawyers, cops, firemen, the legion, music awards.
They hit the 10 provinces and a few hit the territories. They are meetings you can take to the bank.
Scientists breakdown into specialties and then there are the university groups. There is a guaranteed minimum usage for every province and there is no real competition outside Halifax for conventions coming to Nova scotia - fly in, make a speech, enjoy a meal and fly out is common for many attendees. And the hotels jack up the room dates for non-convention visitors who come to Halifax when a national convention comes to town.
Don't expect the press to ask probing questions of Ferguson or even our Premier or our Mayor. They just take the pap handed to them.
