Energy Minister Bill Bennett admits he was taken aback after an internal audit revealed BC Hydro is not ready for a major disaster.
"I'm surprised that they're not further along with disaster prepardness....I'm relatively new to the file, I think I've been on the file for about a month, this is not the first surprise I've had from BC Hydro and I can tell you I'm pretty sure it's not gonna be the last one."
But Bennett says Hydro is already spending two billion dollars refurbishing two aging dams, and more upgrades will be made.
