Delta families and commuters have every right to be fed up. After more than four hundred and fifty million dollars of taxpayersโ money have already been spent, along with years of delay, the NDP government has terminated the Massey Tunnel replacement contract. Yet they claim that restarting the work through multiple separate contracts will neither cost more nor take any longer. This defies common sense.
This is the same NDP that routinely sends major contracts overseas, including a billion-dollar BC Ferries deal, rather than supporting the skilled local workers and businesses here in British Columbia. Hard-working families deserve far better stewardship of their tax dollars.
I fully support Delta Councillor Dylan Krugerโs call for a full independent investigation into this spending and these repeated delays. Transparency and accountability must be restored.
British Columbians deserve a government that delivers critical infrastructure efficiently, on time, and on budget while respecting every dollar and creating good local jobs. When we form the next government, that is exactly what we will do. Together, we will end the waste, restore competence, and build the safe, prosperous British Columbia our families and communities need.
