Our government remains committed to protecting and defending British Columbians. Premier Eby has created a new cabinet committee which will act as a day-to-day war room, coordinating actions across government to fight back on behalf of British Columbians and grow our economy amidst ongoing tariff threats from the United States.
We have introduced a three-point strategy to fight back and protect British Columbians:
Respond to U.S. tariffs with tough counter-actions and outreach to American decision-makers
Strengthen B.C.’s economy by expediting projects and supporting industry and workers
Diversify trade markets for products so British Columbia is less reliant on U.S. markets and customers
Members of the new cabinet committee are:
Ravi Kahlon, Minister of Housing and Municipal Affairs (chair)
Diana Gibson, Minister of Jobs, Economic Development and Innovation
Brenda Bailey, Minister of Finance
Adrian Dix, Minister of Energy and Climate Solutions
Lana Popham, Minister of Agriculture and Food
Randene Neill, Minister of Water, Land and Resource Stewardship
Rick Glumac, Minister of State for Trade
Ravi Parmar, Minister of Forests
Jagrup Brar, Minister of Mining and Critical Minerals
Tamara Davidson, Minister of Environment and Parks
