Premier David Eby says his government will be introducing a new law in the coming days that will charge a fee to commercial trucks driving through B.C. to Alaska as the latest response to U.S. tariffs.
Speaking in Victoria outside outside of the legislature Thursday (March 6), Eby said the legislation will include several measures "to respond to this historic challenge, unprecedented legislation" from the U.S.
Eby said the legislation will give the government flexibility to respond rapidly to executive orders from U.S. President Donald Trump.
"It will provide legislative authority to remove internal trade and barriers that stop us from trading with our partners and friends, from coast to coast to coast."
More to come.
