We're getting half the green line for double the price but true, it hasn't actually started construction yet. There are hospitals all over the province that have been over budget and time, from memory Medicine Hat and the new one Graham Construction is being blamed for in Grand Prairie. But Red Deer can't even get started on their expansion because the budget keeps going up. The South Campus Health Center was a bit late and on budget after the budget was revised from a billion to 1.3 billion. I remember the ring road builders were being fined a million dollars a day when they were late. Yet headlines said it was in time and budget. Anyway, it's easy to be on time when you can adjust your finish date and very easy to be on budget when the budget is open for change. None of those things are possible with the olympics.
