Premier David Eby has issued the following statement in response to the United States’ decision to impose tariffs on Canadian timber and lumber, through Section 232 of the U.S. Trade Expansion Act:
Premier David Eby is travelling to New York to promote B.C. as a leading destination for investment in clean energy and the critical minerals that are powering the transition to a sustainable, innovation-driven economy.
People adversely affected by tariffs imposed by the United States will benefit from expanded supports through two new initiatives delivered by the Province in partnership with the Government of Canada.
