I want to see catenary going up as much as anyone on here, but let's not kid ourselves into thinking A) it's coming soon or B) there's not already a ton of work done that is largely prep work for RER.
The planning and design is actually getting done. The current Public Information sessions present a pretty detailed set of information about each line. Somebody has been giving this a lot of thought.
There is a thread on GO electrification which is probably a better place to discuss the specifics of electrification that than the service thread.
It's a fair question, however, to ask "Just how much money has Metrolinx been given authority to spend? How far out does it have authority to spend anything? And is the funding approved right through to execution, or just for design?"
We know there are shovels in the ground on a few things, but exactly how specific projects got funded is not an easy thing to determine. The lack of transparency does not put ML in a good light. Maybe the A-G could make a second visit.
