ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
Also, I think you folks are wrong about the timeline:

This [1] article from railjournal and this [2] one from the globe, both peg the purchase of LRVs being approved in July 2013:

[2] https://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-o...e13124993/

But the wikipedia page [3] from Grandlink says that the RFP was issued in June with it being due by December 2013, and final contract close the next year. Grandlinq cannot claim not to have known what equipment they would be operating when they prepared their bid.
