But the costs of these projects are rising even faster than overall inflation. So even if the City walks away from the deal and negotiates a new one in five years with the costs shifted a few percentage points in their favour, it will still probably cost the City more than this latest deal.
This is what I find frustrating about the whole debacle. CSEC and the City are
both going to wind up paying much more for this thing than they would have if they’d reached a deal 7 or 8 years ago.
