Who knows. Everyone had agreed the bearing assembly was the problem, a year (?) later, Alstom decided that wasn't the problem and stopped working on it. Not sure where we're at now.

It's true that the City was very stupid in insisting on LRT when experts were telling us what we need is a metro (OtTaWa iS tO sMaLl fOr A rEaL SuBwAy). But three (maybe two, I think one proposed a real metro) consortiums were even dumber by submitting bids with rolling stock that could not do the job.
This is what I'm talking about with the secret settlement:
