That's fine, you can think that. We aren't getting that federal money otherwise.
Our taxes will be going to a field house and potentially other projects (including an arena, IMO) over the next how ever many years; I'd rather see us get a return on those taxes through federal / provincial / IOC assistance for infrastructure then to see no return at all when those taxes are eventually spent anyways.
