Debate Surrounding Light Rail Placement

There is uncertainty surrounding the placement of Thunder Bay made Bombardier Light Rail Trains in Southern Ontario.  The light rail trains were intended for use in Toronto before that City Council decided to move ahead with Subway expansion.  The issue came up in the Ontario Legislature today when the PC's Frank Klees accused the government of forcing the vehicles on Southern Ontario communities.  Meantime, MPP Bill Mauro says he's been given the impression that Bombardier employees in Thunder Bay will not be affected. Mauro spoke to Transportation Minister Glenn Murray about the issue.
