Paul Miller Yes The Ontario NDP has been behind the Hamilton LRT since day one and we remain committed to this essential investment for the people of Hamilton. Our plan includes full provincial funding for an LRT line from McMaster University to Eastgate Square. We will fund this plan by committing $29 billion over 10 years for transit and transportation projects in the province's existing fiscal framework. This funding is guaranteed through the allocation of 7.5 cents of the Gas Tax to a dedicated fund amongst other measures. In addition ee will further increase this funding amount by $250 million annually to kick-start priority projects, which will be funded out of general revenue.
