No. It will be a new intermediate stop. Why would they make it the terminus and remove service from DTK?

Can't do that if CP won't agree, and they're not fans of passenger rail and known to be difficult to work with. In any case, Cambridge to Guelph would probably get you to Union Station sooner than Cambridge to Milton, especially if Metrolinx keeps improving the line over time.

That has been the plan for a decade.
Wynne Liberals promised 2WADGO to Kitchener 10 years in 2014, then silently pushed it to 2025.
Ford vaguely promised "sooner" during the 2018 campaign, but then proceeded to suspend improvements for nearly 2 years (except for the contrast that had already been awarded and were in progress). Since then communiqués from the Ford Government have vaguely referred to both the 10 years since 2014 promise and to 2025, flip-flopping back and forth, putting out a few business case draft documents, but has never officially said "OK, we're doing this set of stuff from the business case option X".
Whether the Ford Government will actually get it done with 2WADGO in place by December 2025 at the latest remains to be seen.
