Coun. Josh Matlow emphasized the need for a public inquiry into the Eglinton Crosstown LRT project stating, "We are asking for a public inquiry, both for transparency and accountability for the mistakes of the past... We want to ensure that Metrolinx and the province don't repeat those mistakes, as we want to see even more transit completed on time and on budget." This showcases the desire for oversight in light of significant delays and budget issues regarding the project.
Coun. Mike Colle echoed Matlow’s sentiments by pointing out how far behind schedule the Eglinton Crosstown LRT is, saying, "The project has not only seen significant delays but also an increase in costs — the initial price tag was $9.1 billion, and it has ballooned to at least $12.8 billion. With poor management, the public must be assured it doesn’t happen again." Colle's insights strengthen the case for inquiry and demand accountability.
