Totally unsubstantiated rumour I heard from a colleague at one of the electrical engineering firms in town (although not the one working on it): material costs and supply chain delays are so significant right now that the estimated completion date and costs from last summer (2024, and $630ishM) are more likely to be a year late and over four hundred million dollars more.
No surprise that CSEC wanted to walk away, 'cause it's not a matter of $9.7M like the mayor said it was... Honestly it's a dumb lack of forethought on their part, agreeing to take on the additional costs.
