    What is the Green’s position on this? The NDP are a minority government and the Greens have just enough seats to topple it, so I have to assume they don’t think this would be worth it?

      The bc greens would certainly follow the environmental assessment. They have opposed the construction of the Site C dam and LNG export facilities.

      The bcndp have 47 members so they have a narrow majority, it would take one ndp mla to break from the pack for the government to be toppled.

        Ah, I must have read the Wikipedia page wrong. I thought it said “slim minority”. Well it’s good to hear the Greens aren’t in bed with this!
