Undoubtedly, although I suppose the "escape clause" is that these projects were already prioritized by Metrolinx, and they are allowing the processes to continue.
But between this and the new legislation, it's easy to see the province taking a much firmer hand at the controls, for better or worse.
This may sound like a sarchastic question...but it isn't....for the purposes of transit...has anyone actually defined "shovel ready".
With Mr. Giambrone's statement that earliest construction of this line is "at least" 18 months away....a simple 2 month delay (which ain't hard) would mean that this "shovel ready" project might not create a single construction job until 2011......hardly the impression the announcing politicians gave.
