Site C: The Failure of Oversight
Published October 23, 2023 by Andy Hira, Patty Hira, and
Overview
Site C is now $8 billion over budget due to foundation cracks. Rather than revisit whether it should have been built, we focus on how it was decided, examining breakdowns in transparency, accountability, and consultation. We look at three key issues: undetected structural risks, questionable cost-benefit estimates from BC Hydro, and inadequate consultation with Indigenous groups. We ask whether the province's decision-making process needs reform.
