Audit of the Evergreen Line Rapid Transit System

March 2013
The purpose of this audit was to determine whether MOTI and Partnerships British Columbia provided government with sufficient, rigorous information to enable it to make well-informed decisions. To do this, we asked: 1. Did these two agencies provide sufficient, rigorous information to recommend the project (scope) option most likely to cost-effectively meet government’s objectives? 2. Did these two agencies demonstrate that the recommended P3 arrangement represented the best procurement solution, taking account of the expected costs, benefits and risks? This report was discussed by the Legislative Assembly's Select Standing Committee on Public Accounts on November 19, 2013. A progress audit report was issued February 2017.
