Here's my favorite little ditty from the hansard extolling the virtues of a potential TDA:
[Clears throat]
"AND WHEREAS the CentreVenture model has served the City well in being able to facilitate and encourage redevelopment and renewal of Downtown Winnipeg for over 10 years, including the creation of a land bank with all surplus city land in the downtown being seeded to CentreVenture;"

You've gotta be kidding me.
This is a pretty generous interpretation of what CentreVenture has been able to accomplish given its tools and mandate. Especially in light of its current financial position.
