Senators Lebreton Flats

Q11: Will the Ottawa Senators arena proposal win the NCC Lebreton Flats Design Competition?
Yes: 25%
No: 75%
(Definition note: The answer will be yes if the Senators' proposal is selected as the "recommended proposal" by the NCC board.  It does not need to get cabinet approval)

The Ottawa Senators have announced that they are submitting a proposal for a new arena on NCC land in Lebreton Flats.  They will have to compete with other proposals for the land, not all of which are clear at this point.  A decision is expected by late 2015 or early 2016.

Although the Senators' proposal has gotten a lot of attention, it does not seem to have a great deal of political support.  Jim Watson sounds somewhat ambivalent about it.  It does not seem like the sort of proposal that the NCC would support; it might be seen as not having enough public benefit.  However, it might still win if the competing proposals are sufficiently weak,
