The city of Ottawa wouldn’t give College Councillor Rick Chiarelli details about the land purchases required for the $2.1-billion Confederation Line Light Rail Transit’s first phase, so in May 2018 he filed a municipal access to information request in an effort to get the details.
Chiarelli’s information fight is peculiar since council members are ultimately in charge of the city and are responsible for municipal decisions.
Chiarelli wants the details of the land purchase agreements. He’s less concerned about the parcels previously owned by the federal government. He wants to know about the deals, and “side deals,” made with private landowners. Chiarelli wants to know if all property owners were treated equally by the city.
