From this page: https://www.tc.gc.ca/en/reviews/railway-...17-18.html

"In addition, concerns were noted over the expansion of light rail transit, given differing standards for tracks, signals and crossings for provincially-regulated light passenger operations and intersections of these local and regional transit systems with slower, heavier, federally-regulated freight rail operations."

So looks like LRT is provincially regulated.

Not all of it is. As soon as rail grade crossings or federally regulated rail right-of-ways are involved those sections with rail grade crossings or federally regulated rail right-of-ways become federally regulated.
