Does anyone know where the $467M price tag for the Northfield facility in the below CBC article comes from:

Almost half-a-billion dollars seems horrifically high for that kind of building. I suspect the number is just wrong.
I'd seem $76M for the Northfield facility in some articles from a couple years ago, which is more in-line with my expectations, although still a bit high.
Perhaps CBC dropped decimal point? $46.7M total with a $39.6M provincial contribution almost works, except the CBC says the region is contributing $126M, which even reading as $12.6M doesn't add up.
