Just for reference, here is the April 1, 2009 announcement of $3 million to "assist Hamilton (in cooperation with Metrolinx) in finalizing their plans for these corridors." Note that it is clear that Metrolinx was assisting Hamilton's own planning work, not that all further rapid transit studies in Hamilton would be funded exclusively by Metrolinx! Hamilton had been engaging in its own rapid transit studies with its own rapid transit team since early 2008 without any direct funding from Metrolinx.
