Had the province flowed money through the provincial grant system to Fort McLeod to fund the improvements?

Just wondering how outraged the Mayor of Fort McLeod should really be if town council was caught with its pants around its ankles without signatures from the province. Or maybe they got the $4 million from the province and he's mad that the overall economic benefit isn't going to materialize (understandable).

Just wondering . . . .

Fort McLeod HAD signatures from the province. They bid for the right to have this 6 years ago, and agreed to provide the land and pay for site prep to get the economic development. The province signed up, and they transferred the land and did the site prep. Now the province has un-signed, so it seems pretty reasonable for Fort McLeod to get their money/land back, imo.
