B.C. Premier Christy Clarkfired back Tuesday at the NDP over its request to suspend the removal of two homes in the Peace River valley, declaring it could result in a $600-million cost increase to the Site-C hydroelectric project.

In a letter released publicly, NDP Leader John Horgan responded by calling her claims on the additional costs “unsupported.”

In another, earlier version of the letter, which the NDP said was sent to Clark in error, even stronger language was used.

In that letter Horgan said: “Given your record of mis-statements and errors, it is impossible to trust anything you say regarding the Site C project schedules and costs.”

In the final version, Horgan also said if Clark is concerned about the Site-C timeline, she should immediately recall the legislature, where the NDP and Greens are expected to bring down the government and form a slim, one-seat majority over the B.C. Liberals.
