Some dialogue that has changed over the years, depending on who you ask.

Keolis (the operator) has said that LRV's should never have to stop for a red light.
The Region has typically said that signal priority will only be given to an LRV if it is behind schedule.

Keolis operates Gold Coast Light Rail, and this video shows pretty well how traffic signal priority works there. I use GCLR as an example quite often when comparing to ion, because it was built and operated by many of the same system partners as our own system. Their consortium was even called GoldLinq! A couple of the folks in the OMSF even came here directly from Australia.
