Canada Federal Government & former NHL referee claim each other as Offside on $$$ stimulus sharing - Topix

Councillor, MP differ on Town's stimulus share GTA Ontario : One Halton Hills councillor is grumbling over what he says is a disparity in distribution of federal/provincial infrastructure stimulus funds within Halton Region.

MPP Arnott questioned Ontario Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing Jim Watson on the arena issue in Question Period of the Ontario Legislature. According to the Hansard record, Watson suggested to Arnott that the Acton Arena was not “shovel-ready”— none of the architectural drawings or engineering has been completed in order to meet the March 31, 2011 timeline.

“There were a number of municipalities, obviously, that did have projects that were spinning their wheels at the gate, ready to go, and those were the ones that got the highest priority,” Watson told Arnott.
