Cambridge Hospital And Rapid Transit Proposal

Experts who are reviewing hospital finances, and seeking to cut $3 million in spending, said this week that hospital directors failed to spend within their means.

Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty recently commented on the Ontario governments plans to put the $39-million expansion of Cambridge Memorial Hospital back on to the discussion table..

McGuinty said yesterday. "I will inquire as to where this project happens to be, at this point in time,"

Regarding the controversial rapid transit system that includes electric trains and fast buses, and estimated to cost $790 million, McGuinty would not disclose the Ontario government's funding plans. Although the province has previously pledged to cover a third of the costs, McGuinty said "It's not two-thirds of anything, that's unreasonable."

Currently
McGuinty has not publicly committed to announcing any allocated budget to either the Cambridge Hospital or the Rapid Transit Proposal as talks resume on the subject.
