The NDP wants to know why BC Hydro spent $264,000 on a luxury suite at GM Place for the 2010 Games.
Energy Critic John Horgan put the question to Minister responsible Mary McNeil today.
Horgan said to McNeil, "Perhaps she can explain to the people of my constituency and right across British Columbia how it is a good thing for British Columbians to reduce access to high school sports, and then on the other hand spend a quarter of a million dollars so some fat cats can sit in a luxury box and watch hockey games."
But McNeil says most of the tickets hydro bought for the games are being awarded to residential customers who join the Power Smart program and show a commitment to cutting their electricity use.
