Premier not ruling out the tariffs affecting his promised affordability rebate
B.C. Premier David Eby said government is doing everything to prepare B.C. for a potential new reality that could have devastating economic consequences.
But this priority could conflict with the promise to deliver $1,000 to 90 per cent of households to help with affordability. Eby's comments came at the end of the press conference where Bailey presented what Eby called the"best information" about the potential impact of 25 per cent tariffs on all Canadian goods entering the United States.
Eby said his government takes the threats"very seriously" as they represent a"direct economic threat to B.C. families." He said government is not sharing these figures to scare British Columbians, but "to reassure you that we understand the gravity of the threat to you and your family."
