Seven questions about the public inquiry into Ottawa's LRT system

CTV News Ottawa looks at questions surrounding the public inquiry, what Ottawa residents can expect and what will happen with the auditor general's investigation.

Transportation Minister Caroline Mulroney announced Wednesday that the Progressive Conservative government cabinet approved launching a public inquiry into the LRT, saying, "The issues plaguing Stage 2 of the Ottawa LRT have been unacceptable and disappointing."

Mulroney says the scope of the inquiry and its terms of reference will be established in the coming weeks.

The Ontario government called a public inquiry into the LRT system after council rejected a motion from coun. Catherine McKenney to call a judicial inquiry into the project. Instead, council asked the city's auditor general to probe the LRT contract and system.
