Site C Dam Permits Were Quietly Issued

[maryjane48]

During The Federal Election.

Former prime minister Stephen Harper's government issued 14 permits for work on the $9-billion Site C dam during the writ period of the last election -- a move that was offside according to people familiar with the project and the workings of the federal government.

"By convention, only routine matters are dealt with after the writ is dropped," said Harry Swain, the chair of the Joint Review Panel that reviewed the Site C dam. "Permits and licences are only issued when a government considers the matter to be non-controversial and of no great public importance."

Swain served for 22 years in the federal government, ending as deputy minister of Indian and Northern Affairs and later Industry. In an exclusive interview with DeSmog Canada last year, Swain said the B.C. government shouldn't have moved ahead with construction on the dam until the demand case became clearer.
