Inquiry into overruns at Muskrat Falls hydro megaproject to begin in January
ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — A public inquiry into how the Muskrat Falls hydro project in Labrador went billions of dollars over budget will report by Dec. 31, 2019 — just after the next provincial election.
Interim NDP Leader Lorraine Michael said Monday the governing Liberals had other options.
“A forensic audit in and of itself can get an awful lot of answers much more quickly than this full review,” she said after Premier Dwight Ball announced hearings will start in January.
“I don’t know why from the beginning they’ve refused to do that.”
