Premier David Eby said it is concerning that no Canadian companies bid on a B.C. Ferries contract to build four new major vessels, but he won’t intervene in the company’s decision to award the contract to a Chinese state-owned shipyard.
Premier David Eby said allegations in a leaked memo that former B.C. Conservative MLAs blackmailed party staff and members are “serious” and must be investigated.
The union representing shipyard workers in British Columbia says it is “deeply disappointed” with B.C. Ferries’ decision to have four new major vessels built by a Chinese shipyard, and is calling on the provincial and federal governments to intervene.
The B.C. government is reversing cuts to a program that helps parents pay for accommodation when taking their sick children to Vancouver for medical treatment.
Premier David Eby said a meeting Wednesday between the premiers and Prime Minister Mark Carney on the status of U.S. trade negotiations was “informative.”
