When all this is done it will end up as a decent mall. Interesting that all this is happening as Quebec has a higher sales tax than Ontario. From my house the this Costco and nearby Futureshop are closer than their Ottawa counterparts, but when making major purchases I now avoid Quebec and shop more in Ontario than I used to.
