So, there it is. Ottawa will get federal assistance for their new private interest arena.

Eugene Melnyk doesn't even like to spend on player salaries so I have no doubt that he would be looking to get money from all avenues for his new building. I can understand provincial and city levels of funding but how do you make a case for spinning an arena into a federal commission as there's no national interest in a new arena for the Senators.
