John Horgan’s Community Benefits Agreement (CBA) for public infrastructure projects is costing taxpayers hundreds of millions more:
ORIGINAL BUDGET
$163M
(3 PHASES)
NDP BUDGET
$185M
(2 PHASES)
INCREASE
▲13%
ORIGINAL BUDGET
$199M
(3 PHASES)
NDP BUDGET
$260M
(2 PHASES)
INCREASE
▲31%
AND THAT'S JUST THE START!
Because the Horgan NDP has given a sweetheart deal to union insiders, cut out 85% of construction workers in BC, and caused these projects to be delayed, BC taxpayers are out $384 MILLION*… SO FAR.
*TOTAL calculated by adding the budget increases of highway projects (listed above), projected 7% budget increase of the Pattullo Bridge project, and decreased federal government contributions toward highway projects because of reduced scope.
WHAT’S NEXT?
The government has already admitted the $1.4B Pattullo Bridge Replacement includes a cost of 7% due to the CBA*. No doubt it will cost more. How much more will the Broadway Subway Project cost over it’s $2.8 billion budget? And then there’s the remainder of the Hwy 1 expansion, the total original budget of which was well over $1 billion?
HOW MUCH MORE MONEY WILL WE ALLOW TO BE WASTED?
