Except our LRT is already built and is being tested. We have more than 50% of the vehicles here and 3 of them started getting their signalling equipment installed here and another 2 are getting it installed in Kingston. It's too far to scrap without paying out liquidated damages to the Project Co. Further to that the Region could also be subject to a much larger amount of punitive damages for breech of contract. Imagine the RIM Park scandal but on a larger scale more akin to the Gas Plant Scandal. Let's not forget: as long as Jay Aissa has his business on Northfield, he can't so much as suggest anything about the LRT, including Phase 2 due to his conflict of interest.
I thought that as a candidate he can say anything he wants. Only if he is elected would conflict of interest become an issue.
