Mayor Mark Sutcliffe told reporters that details couldn’t be discussed until a final agreement has been reached, including whether any taxpayer money would be part of the settlement. The city had filed a $131-million lawsuit against RTG in May 2021, claiming the consortium contracted to build the first stage of LRT failed to meet certain terms of the deal, including missing two key completion dates in 2018. It was August 2019 before the Confederation Line was handed over to the city.
