That is a strange condition to spend more to get the matching amount.

Idea: spend $300m more of public $ on arena (something we’ll probably end up doing anyway). Prov and City contribution then $1.5b, Fed Contribution $1.5b

You could square the circle of the overall budget - and you get a sweetener on the bid in terms of stuff you get.

To square the circle of fixed provincial contribution and this fed condition, the budget either HAS to go up or down. Down at this point wouldn’t seem believable. Up gets you the sweetener via City funds that leverage 1:1 fed $.
