“The issues plaguing Stage 1 of the Ottawa LRT have been unacceptable and disappointing," said Transportation Minister Caroline Mulroney, confirming a public inquiry will look into Ottawa's LRT system.
Sources told CTV News Ottawa that Premier Doug Ford and his cabinet approved calling a full public inquiry into the LRT debacle during a meeting on Wednesday.
Transportation Minister Caroline Mulroney confirmed early Wednesday evening that Ontario is launching a public inquiry "to get to the bottom" of these issues facing the LRT system.
“The issues plaguing Stage 1 of the Ottawa LRT have been unacceptable and disappointing," said Mulroney.
"As a funding partner for the project, we need certainty that the City of Ottawa will be able to successfully deliver the remaining phases of work for this project. Ottawa transit riders deserve and expect this certainty as well."
