Episode Details

The Eby government has introduced wide scoped emergency legislation giving the province broad powers to respond to U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods. Premier David Eby says the measures are needed to ensure B.C. is not at the whim of one person in the White House. The move is intended to remove interprovincial trade barriers, slap tolls on bridges and ferries and unilaterally change any rules impacting B.C.’s economy. The legislation is supported by both the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade and the Business Council of B.C.
