The commitment is among the first spending under the $6-billion Canada housing infrastructure fund.

It matches a $250 million provincial contribution to designing the massive project.

With a $10-billion cost estimate, rebuilding Iona would be Metro 's most expensive capital project.

The region is under increasing pressure to reduce the project’s cost, especially after absorbing a $2.83 billion cost overrun.
