Just seems Higgs is getting trigger happy. I understand the projects he cancelled that are in design/development stages, I don't agree with all the decisions, but that's what he is put in office to do
But to cancel the Centennial Building just seems ludicrous. Likely majority of materials have already been purchased, and there's not a chase the contractors will just write that off as sunk costs... they'll come looking for their money.
I don't know the exact situation, but I hear it's quite a mess with half the building unusable, and an adjacent building is a temporary solution (that isn't up to regulations)
And mentioned above, there's going to be Y millions spent just to stop this project. So weren't not going to save "60 million".. which is really unfortunate.
