Ottawa mayoral candidate Clive Doucet ​says it's "unfair" to expect him to detail how he'll pay for one of his key — and potentially costliest — campaign promises. And I think it's a little unfair, asking me to do that kind of division at this point," he said. Doucet defended the idea against criticism from some, including Ecology Ottawa's Robb Barnes, that it's "a step backwards." Doucet said he'd cancel the city's Baseline busway project, which will cost about $10 million per kilometre, to pay for his regional rail idea, which he said would cost about $3 million per kilometre. You want better community service, better commuter service, LRT of course, and then good regional rail, just like Toronto," Doucet said.
