Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says a lack of “political oversight” undermined Calgary’s Green Line light rail transit project.
Smith says the experience has made clear that when billion-dollar decisions are being made, all funding partners need to be included.
Earlier this week, Calgary city council voted to stop construction on the $6.2-billion Green Line after the province decided to not follow through with previously committed funding.
The province pulled the funding citing concerns the project was not serving enough commuters.
