Statement by Carol Shields

Please reinstate the LRT project for Hamilton. If the city and province want to remain relevant, take real action on climate change, and provide public transit that is a sensible and convenient alternative to increased vehicular congestion going forward, we've got to act now.

I understand that we must be diligent in undertaking the immense cost of such a project, but diligence requires accuracy. Accountability to taxpayers requires accuracy. Decision-making with public money must be based on accurate data. Conflating costs inaccurately is irresponsible. Admitting to that conflation without publicly correcting the record and re-examining the decision is reprehensible. I expect better from my elected officials.
