Statement by Robert Brosius
I understand that the federal government will fund "shovel-ready" projects that can be implemented quickly and have big economic, social and environmental impact.
Hamilton's LRT is a perfect candidate for federal infrastructure funding!
Our LRT project has been under development since 2008, gone through many feasibility and benefits analyses by multiple organizations, and has an approved environmental assessment. In fact, we were just waiting for the final bids when the project was unexpectedly stopped in December.
In concrete terms, LRT means thousands of jobs during the construction phase (projected to last 3-5 years) and billions in new investment over the lifetime of the system.
Please support that important project for the greater Hamilton community, for the Province of Ontario and for Canada.
