It's ok to admit the taxpayers got taken for a ride on this deal, it's apparent. We see it everywhere. Anybody remember that garbage art project near Winsport? When it came to fruition it was a gong show, they tried to pass it off as some Indigenous art for the historical area until the local tributes told them to pound sand with that lie.

Says the guy with zero government, corporate, or leadership experience.
It’s also OK to admit you don’t know what you’re talking about. You don’t have to make up stories about fraud and people getting taken for a ride just because this is above your pay grade and far beyond your expertise.

Take the bias out and pretend I was in charge of this project at Tourism Calgary and Calgary Economic Development. I told you the exact same thing as you are being told now about cross country engagement, stake holders and industry across Canada being consulted and more.
Would your reaction be "Curves, wow, that's impressive. The return on investment is going to be strong and I can feel the change radiating across Canada. A colourful C for Calgary. You must have been the top of your class!
Or would it be something different?

Sure, I’ll humour you. Let’s pretend you are in charge of this project.
To make it easy, we’ll just have you put an estimate together. You get to decide who the stakeholders are, who your team is, etc.
So, go for it.
What timeline are you proposing? How much for the work itself, and what kind of time are you building out for reviews, stakeholder engagement, etc.?
What’s the budget, and within that, what are you budgeting for each service group?
How many people are on the project and what mix of seniority do you have?
You know better, so let’s see how much better you know.
