The president of BC Hydro says a one-year delay in the Site C hydroelectric dam project would cost $630 million, with construction in limbo as the NDP is poised to form a minority government in British Columbia in the coming weeks. In April, 2017, a 120,000 signature petition opposing the construction of the Site C dam was delivered to the federal government. But Clark says the project is likely to progress past the "point of no return" before a review can be completed. Her press secretary Stephen Smart referred questions to BC Hydro, which declined toanswer them on Tuesday. It said cancelling the project as of June 30 would save between $500 million and $1.65 billion.
