Yes, the convention center is connected but not part of Midtown plaza.
I should add that since the underground parking was the old railway tracks it stretches for three to four blocks, including under two major streets. Currently it is just used for parking, however
one could imagine a retail complex connecting multiple towers similar to the path in Toronto. I don't think the developers are planning to do anything with underground other than parking.

I could see that happening too, The Cushman & Wakefield developers have plans to redo entire Saskatoon Midtown Plaza judging from their website:

A portion of the shopping centre with frontage on 1st Avenue will be transformed into a 2-storey shopping and dining destination. The existing major anchor space of a 2-level department store (Sears) will be divided amongst multiple tenants. The entire shopping centre will undergo a major refurbishment including an urban contemporary food court overlooking a new exterior plaza.

With two other proposed office tower projects on 2nd Ave only a block away from concept for the new Arts/Convention Centre on the Plaza's land, that could be a busy one city block radius in downtown Saskatoon.
