B.C. Premier Eby Introduces New Bill to Strengthen Tariff Response

British Columbia Premier David Eby discusses new legislation aimed at strengthening the government’s ability to respond to the impact of U.S. tariffs on the provincial economy. He is joined at the news conference in Victoria by Attorney General Niki Sharma.

If passed, the new economic stabilization act would allow the government to respond quickly to ongoing U.S. tariff threat. It would also give cabinet sweeping emergency powers that would not require the immediate approval of the provincial legislature. (March 13, 2025) (no interpretation)
