It's ridiculous to say that P3 misinterpreted their mandate since their mandate was tabled in parliament and required cabinet approval. P3 Canada approached the City to pursue this funding specifically because it was for recreational facilities. Members of the Calgary Conservative caucus, were well aware of this application for two years - before it was cancelled by the PMO (after unanimous P3 board approval). The reasoning you repeated was the exact malarkey that Kenney and others spouted after (once they actually started talking at all).

Who is they? P3 Canada, the federal government, or both? Are you saying the federal government changed the rules for P3 Canada, after the application by Calgary?
Or is it a possibility that the rules against funding for recreation facilities were always in place and some people at P3 Canada and obviously some members of Calgary Conservative Caucus didn't know this... thus mistakes were made.
