The government of Canada and the government of Ontario reached an agreement concerning the federal share of the C$26.8 billion (US$22.12 billion) for Ontario's four priority transit projects in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area. Canada has committed to covering up to 40 percent of the capital costs of the Ontario Line, a three-stop Scarborough Subway Extension, the Yonge North Subway Extension and the Eglinton Crosstown West Extension. The up to C$10.4 billion (US$8.58 billion) in funding from the federal government will be combined with the up to C$17 billion (US$14.04 billion) Ontario previously committed toward the four subway projects. In late 2019, the city of Toronto and province of Ontario reached an agreement on the transit expansion plan with the four subway projects. Toronto finalized the agreement with the province in early 2020, which was followed by a separate agreement between the province and the York Region for the delivery of the Yonge North Subway Extension. "By having the federal government come to the table in this historic partnership, we are moving full steam ahead on building these projects that our residents need today and for future generations," said Ontario Minister of Transportation Caroline Mulroney. |
