Feds to tighten Site C hearings as regional demands conditional rights
Stewart argues federal involvement will curb provincial bias in Site C review and make hearings more comprehensive. He notes BC Utilities Commission could be pressured by the province while Feds resist undue influence. PRRD backed the dam in 1981 82 if electricity fits need environmental mitigations and host community benefits and insists on a conditional water licence and approval written into law. Knutson adds the board seeks a 15 percent rate cut if the dam proceeds until stance is revised.
