So if council should decide to dispose of the Waterloo Summit Centre, we would have someone qualified who could sell a commercial building.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Committee approved the recommendation; it will go to Council for ratification.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!
