On a different note, how is it that the original Montreal Metro back in 1966/1967, with 26 elaborate stations on 3 lines for 25 kilometers, took less time to build than the Ottawa Confederation line with 13 stations on 12.5 kilometers, with most of the rights-of-way already built?

That rapid transit line would be pretty darn useful for Canada Day 2017.
That's always bugged me about the construction schedule. According to the schedule all the underground stations downtown are to be completed by May 2017. (Cutting it close for Canada Day since system testing is required) So why are some above ground stations that already have the ROW there going to take longer? In cases where alignment isn't an issue can't they reuse parts of the existing Transitway stations? You'd think 4 years is enough time.
