“I’m sure there will be speculation about the reasons for my departure at this time,” Kanellakos said — and so there was, but not for long. On Wednesday, Justice William Hourigan issued his report into Ottawa’s fantastically dysfunctional new LRT line.

Kanellakos made a “deliberate effort … to mislead council on the decision to lower the testing criteria and on the testing results,” Hourigan found. “ had accurate information about trial running and the decision to change the testing criteria, but failed to provide that information to council,” he added. All this “irreparably compromised the statutory oversight function of Council” and amounted to “egregious violations of the public trust,” Hourigan found.
