'Deliberate malfeasance:' Read the conclusion of the Ottawa LRT report executive summary

"Outright misrepresentation."

But the two-page conclusion stands out for its criticism of senior city staff and Rideau Transit Group."As mentioned at the beginning of this summary, the Commission views its primary role as providing answers about what happened and why, and making recommendations to avoid a repetition of the project’s problems. In doing so, I do not hold the project or its participants to a standard of perfection. That would be unrealistic and unfair.

First is the conduct of RTG and OLRT-C in providing RSA dates that they knew were entirely unrealistic. It is evident that this was done as part of a misconceived scheme to increase commercial pressure on the City. As a commercial tactic, it was a failure because the deliberate communication of unachievable dates did nothing to improve RTG’s commercial position with the City. To the contrary, this gambit only served to increase and accelerate the mistrust that was developing between the parties.

Is there any reason to believe that their conduct regarding the trial running testing results was an aberration or that transparency has improved within the City? Unfortunately, based on the City’s conduct during this Inquiry, there is not. By way of example, throughout the hearings, the City published, at taxpayers’ expense, a summary of the proceedings that was a blatant attempt to spin the testimony in a way that was favourable to the City.

Watson should have saved his 'but I'm gay' card.

You forgot JimWatsonOttawa

So, so start they lose their jobs? Like any other performance-based job. Second, we review each decision and review all paper trials to sure those people and parties involved in fraud are brought to justice and held accountability. lastly, the city sets up a fund for damages.

So hopefully a criminal investigation happens next!

My friend and I wrote this LRT parody a year ago. Enjoy?

I haven't seen a single surprise in here. Who's going to be punished though? Mistakes happen... Lying and misleading are a bigger problem though.

Typically, “public servants” will see no consequences to their poor judgement. It’s time to make people accountable.

My conclusion (from over a year ago)

We already know about this

The mayor, some other elected officials and some managers surely took a timely retirement and will face ZERO consequences for their mismanagement of billions. What else could be found in an investigation if someone had the guts to do one ! Pure damn shame on them

You mean all those corrupt city politicians like Jim Waston. I'm glad the clarification they were all on the take. Of course, Trudeau and Watson were getting the most. TrudeauMustGo DefundMSM

Zero surprises here.

These criminals should be put in jail the only ones who suffer are the taxpayers of Ottawa

SNC Lavalin saw these folks coming.

The citizens of Ottawa need restitution from these stooges that foisted this piece of expensive crap on us. Who’s going to pay to fix this mess?

This is a product of the Isaiah liberal politician arrogance- Do not tell citizens the truth just give them the political spin.

And yet all of those who were in charge quit and they will never be held accountable. Watson will have his senate seat and all the others will walk into the sunset with fat pensions. So I ask what was the LRT inquiry for.. Damn it it costed tax payers 15millions

It is no wonder the former mayor and others did not want a investigation

So…..who pays to fix this. How are politicians/city workers held responsible? Is it all swept under the rug and we are left with an inferior LRT?

I've been saying it for years. arrestjimwatson he's a WEF criminal & he's stolen millions from ottawa residents, violated their rights throughout the pandemic & willingly vilified the unvaxxed while pushing the jab for kids treasonseason CrimesAgainstHumanity buildthegallows

Deliberate malfeasance...anything illegal about that? ottnews

Those that misled council should be criminally charged.
