As Toronto's Eglinton Crosstown LRT project continues to be plagued by delays, internal documents obtained by Global News show the CEO of Metrolinx taking direct aim at the Ontario's premier over communication regarding the project.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford is denying that his government directly controls communications at the provincial transit agency Metrolinx. Speaking at an event in Ottawa on Tuesday, Ford said his government was not controlling Metrolinx. “I don’t direct or control anyone,” Ford said.

The denial comes after Global News revealed an internal email sent by Metrolinx CEO Phil Verster to the chiefs of staff for both Ford and Transportation Minister Caroline Mulroney. In it, Verster said he accepted “that Gov (the government) makes these comms decisions.”

The premier, however, denied the characterization written by Verster in the December 2022 email. “I didn’t say we control it. We work hand in hand with Metrolinx,” Ford said.
