2:00- Tom Galloway, Region of Waterloo Councillor, Re: LRT bidders who lost out on the $818-million project will each be paid $200,000, just for putting in the bid.

The controversy comes as Canadians mark the International Day Against Bullying by wearing pink to show their support of diversity and the need to end bullying.
