The TPAP for Stage 1 started on November 26th, 2011, and construction started less that 3 years later. However, federal and provincial monies had been committed by 2010, about a year before TPAP and I have not heard anything for monies for Stage 2. The wording in video seemed to imply active work from here on which would mean more trams→RFQ→RFP→construction, but that doesn't take 8 years (the "2028 at the earliest" we've been told for the last while).

Has something changed in terms of funding or immediacy of the project? It certainly would fit in well with post-covid economic boost projects, the idea of which has been bandied about lately.

120 days between the issuance of a Notice of Commencement and the issuance of a Notice of Completion and a finalized Environmental Project Report(EPR), followed by a 30-day public review of the EPR, then a 35-day Minister's Review of the EPR. The Minister then gives notice to 1) Proceeed, 2) Proceed with conditions or, 3) Must Conduct additional work. If 1 or 2 a Statement of Completion is sent to the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change before proceeding with the rest of the project.

That's how long the process takes. I was asking about how long it is valid for, once approved.

As in, would it still be valid in 2028, 2030, whatever, or would it need to be redone?
