Cynically it paints the party as having built something in the province despite historically being the party of not having any money for actually doing so. Even worse that in this case Horgan froze the project while initiating reviews that led to billions in cost overruns during a time that it was clearly too late to stop it. But then again this is the same party that didn't want a bridge over the Fraser in 2014 to replace the Masey Tunnel despite everything pointing at a bridge now being the only palpable solution.
