ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
It's the region's, at least in one large critical way. Had we included the LRVs in the project order, it would be GrandLinq (or equivalent's) problem. Because we split out the LRVs to join in on the Metrolinx order (theoretically saving us money now and in the future), the costs associated with the delays of those systems and the parts of them that affect the overall system design (whether delays are Bombardier being unable to do things on time, or being hamstrung by Toronto City Council's political decisions) are on us as far as GrandLinq is concerned, and as much as we want to put that back onto Bombardier, contractually we are limited in that respect (but might have arguments that we shouldn't be limited as spelled out in the signed deals).
