Following another leaked Bipole III cost estimate - this one showing the project has been way over $2.2 billion for over a year and a half - the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) called on the government to explain who isn't telling the truth.
“The second leaked Bipole III document leaves one of two disturbing scenarios,” said CTF Prairie Director Colin Craig. “In scenario one the Minister is told the cost is nearly double but she continues to tell the public the cost could be much lower. Scenario two is that Hydro didn't give her the revised number for over a year and a half and continued to tell her the stale figure.”
Scenario 1: Minister Misleading | Scenario 2: Hydro Misleading |
“No matter how you cut it, what’s going on isn’t acceptable,” added Craig. “Heads should roll over this.”
