All that is included in the current report is upgrades to existing facilities and a fieldhouse. You have 10 billion in unfounded items on your list.
As I said, the list included projects and costs that weren't included in the proposed bid report, and was hypothetical. With or without the olympics, the arena could get built prior to 2026, and same with McMahon reno depending on CSEC appetite.

Everything else though wouldn't get built until many, many years down the road, if at all. But if the Olympics were to occur, some, if not all could be done if there is a willingness to extend funding beyond specific olympic event infrastructure.

To be honest, if we're gonna be spending billions, then it's only worth it if we get a couple things beyond olympic venues improvements. At the least full greenline and Crowchild work.
