I will admit that I never liked this bridge, I didn't like the procurement process, and I don't like the design, thinking that its not one of Calavantra's better or even good efforts.

I also did research on his bridges that he's designed and been un-impressed that they've for the most part been over budget or in the case of the one in Dallas a badly flawed designed where somehow they didn't take into account where the bridge was to be built.

And then when I bought up in debate that I didn't like that this bridge had to be constructed in Spain, and then transported across the ocean and across Canada, I was shouted down that we couldn't do this kind of work in Canada and it had to happen this way. Well apparently the Spanish couldn't do this work.

And if you don't think that there won't be cost recovery for the manufacturer or contractor if they have to come over here and re-weld I think your fooling yourself, there won't be a specific line item in the budget about fixing the peace bridge, but it will come out of the budget.
