The City of Winnipeg plans to hand $10,000 cheques to anyone who buys a new condo in the Exchange District or along Waterfront Drive as part of a $7.8-million plan to revitalize the northeastern third of downtown........

On Wednesday, Winnipeg consumers who've recently purchased Exchange District and Waterfront Drive condos were left wondering whether they would qualify for the new incentive -- and if not, whether they should purchase later in order to receive the $10,000 cheque.

"People will ask that question: 'Why buy a condo until this is in place?' " said Ryan Loiselle, who has placed a deposit on a Waterfront Drive condominium. "I should be eligible for that and so should the other families moving in to the other units."

The mayor did not see it that way. "As a consumer, you purchase something -- and a week, a day or a month (later) it's on sale," Katz said. "That happens every day of our lives."

I guess this is the answer they're giving??
