Would that be enough, though? I'm not sure it would serve much of a purpose; that's the danger of half-assing this project. If the line were to hang a left at James and continue another 2 km to Pier 8, then I might change my tune. At the very least, I'd like to see the B-Line terminate at Ottawa St. That's about 5 km west of Centennial / Eastgate Mall, so that's a significant chunk of change saved.
I'd rather see the first phase of LRT hang a right and head up to the Mohawk College transit hub. That would link four of multi-mode traffic nodes by LRT. BRT can run west from Eastgate to the core, then head north on James to the future GO station and the harbourfront.
