The city hall committee tasked with trying to kick-start talks with the Calgary Flames on a new arena says there is still no offer to put on the table.

Calgary Coun. Jeff Davison is tabling a motion Monday at city council to strike a new committee to reaffirm their commitment to a new arena in the city.

My colleagues Danielle Smith and Dave Rowe have both made arguments in support of CalgaryNEXT and the Flames' enthusiasm for the project. I would like to present the other side of that argument.
