The announcement comes after calls from the premier and city councillors and a day after Metro Vancouver said it has no plans to conduct a review.
WATCH: B.C. Premier David Eby says an external auditor, and maybe even the province's auditor general may have to step in to review the books at Metro Vancouver . Catherine Urquhart reports.“We take these concerns seriously and as such, as the Chair of the Board, I am initiating an independent review of the North Shore Wastewater Treatment Plant Program costs,” outgoing Mero Vancouver board chair George Harvie wrote in a release Tuesday.Councillors call for B.C.
Last week, seven city councillors from across Metro Vancouver called for auditor general Michael Pickup to investigate the cost overruns. “It’s taken letters from elected officials. It’s taken the premier even yesterday, openly musing about the B.C. auditor general to get involved. It shouldn’t have been this challenging and this difficult to acknowledge that we have a financial nightmare on the North Shore.”
