Carney Pushes Port Expansion for Trade Independence | Ottawa News
Description
Prime Minister Mark Carney is backing a bold plan to massively expand Vancouver’s Port of Roberts Bank, aiming to boost Canada’s trade with Asia, reduce reliance on the U.S., and unlock $100 billion in annual trade capacity. The new three-berth terminal could add 50% container capacity, but faces environmental opposition over killer whale habitats. Carney insists the government is partnering with First Nations for economic benefits and enforcing strong protections, while fast-tracking the project through the Major Projects Office and exploring links to a proposed West Coast oil pipeline. This move is framed as a key step toward national resilience, job creation, and balancing growth with conservation.
