I've commented on this on a few forums. There is a risk that the changes made to the province might be enough for the Province to review and potentially pull their funding. How likely is this to happen? I don't have any idea. But I do know the Province is on record saying their funding was contingent on what was proposed at the time and if the project no longer resembles that then they would review their commitment. I also know Alberta's finances are in horrible shape and I would not put it past them to see this as a way to get out of several billion in spending.

We knew this was a risk, Council knew this was a risk and rolled the dice by changing up the proposal anyway. I hope the provincial funding remains but you never know.
