Let me channel Nixon. Let me be PERFECTLY clear.

This will be hosted on ONE site, and that site will be Edmonton. The focus of the dollars will be EDMONTON. Like EXPO 86, outlying communities will benefit from the attendees at the fair, and may receive specific upgrades to facilities, but the biggie will be transit.

Look at EXPO 86. Your answers lie there.
