I'd have to imagine that this stretch has been included in the DB consortium proposal. It's a shame that the province/GO hasn't been able to address it themselves, but I have hope that when the reigns are handed over to the new operators, they'll make quick work of this.
New operators wont do it, though, because it's not really an operations issue.
There are not enough tracks to allow hourly all day long passenger trains through that section of tracks.
Almost 4 years ago the PCs say that they were cancelling the Missing Link and would instead be negotiating with CN to build extra tracks at Metrolinx's expense in CN's right of way. There have been no announcements on that since.
