“I love Toronto, but I do not like how its transit projects are handled. The Eglinton transit line is late and cost twice as much as planned. Other transit projects across the city have also been badly managed.”
“Mr. Speaker, I believe the member whose riding is west of mine was not attentive to my presentation. I love the city of Toronto. My first love is the city of Toronto. What I do not love is what we have done to Toronto’s transportation. Line 5, which goes from my riding into that member’s riding, was not on time or on budget. There is a streetcar on Finch Avenue. What an absurdity. The Eglinton LRT took double the time at double the budget. The St. Clair streetcar is insanity, and the Ontario line is also a debacle.”
