Infrastructure Renewal Minister Bill Estabrooks says he's still confident the Harper government will provide the funding requested for that proposed downtown convention centre. Ottawa's being asked to contribute $46 million toward the construction cost of the Argyle Street facility. Estabrooks admits though he has no idea when the feds might make a decision on the matter. Defence Minister Peter MacKay's very public support for a Halifax sports stadium has led some to believe federal government pariticipation in the convention centre is far from a sure thing. The clock is ticking on the developer's self-imposed April deadline for an answer. Stay tuned.
