Statement by Leslie Addison

Hello Mr. Ford,
First let me say I am beyond pleased with your response to the current Covid 19 pandemic and situation in Ontario. You have been responsive to the needs of Ontarians and for that I say THANK YOU!!!!!

As part of the economic recovery in Hamilton, I would like to again reach out to say that the LRT project, that was the #1 recommendation of the Hamilton LRT task force, is a shovel ready project that will create jobs and much needed economic growth in Hamilton. I understand the federal government has committed to financially supporting 'shovel ready' projects as well as a specific nod to Hamilton's LRT through the federal minister of transportation. It is my understanding that the request for federal support must come from the provincial government. I am asking for the government of Ontario to get the LRT back on track with a formal request for federal funds and the green light to the project. The task force your government put together has made a unanimous first choice recommendation for a Hamilton LRT. All studies have been completed and it's time to get moving.
Thanks for your continued support as we Ontarians work together for economic recovery in these uncertain times.
Sincerely,
Leslie Addison
