   No provincial funding for LRT, mayor calls move a 'betrayal' of Hamilton   
      
   The minister pointed the finger at the previous government, saying the   
   Liberal government publicly promised to fund the total $1 billion needed for   
   the system, while privately projecting it would cost about $3 billion.   
      
   When she took over as transportation minister, Mulroney said the party hired   
   a third-party that determined the cost was an "astonishing $5.5 billion."   
      
   "It is frustrating news, but the stark fiscal reality is that the project   
   will actually cost five times more than the previous government led us all   
   to believe," her statement reads.

   Hamilton still gets $1 billion for transit, but the train is dead.
