The project on the Peace River near Fort St. John was started by Christy Clark’s B.C. Liberal government in 2015. However, Milobar called the latest cost overruns “disappointing.” On Friday, the province announced the project’s price tag had ballooned to $16 billion, about $5 billion more than the last estimate. Milobar said during the transition of power between the B.C. Liberals and BC NDP in 2017, the New Democrats confirmed the project was on time and on budget. “To see it now, essentially double in costs and well behind schedule, is concerning,” Milobar said, adding he hopes the latest project team restructuring and experts will bring an end to cost overruns and project delays.
