If you're implying the Eglinton yard could be used for manufacturing LRVs then that would require Eglinton's yard to be finished very soon. On the current timeline it's still years away from being ready.
The scale is also a little different; Ottawa is building 34 LRVs (18 months to 2 years for a single assembly line) for Phase 1 but Eglinton needs ~120LRVs for opening day; hard to do in 2 years (for 2021 finish) in a tiny facility.
Does anyone know how Ottawa will be growing the fleet for Phase 2? Will they do final assembly in Hornell?
