It was a plan developed under another PC gov't when we were looking at moving to a Prov. force, times are tighter and that $100+M is now better spend addressing other more urgent needs in policing, rather than spending on training facilities that already exist.
Sure it was cut a bit far down the process, but they're sunk costs and as of Aug 30, the best use of taxpayers money was to cancel it and use those funds elsewhere.
