BC Premier David Eby says he had a “productive” meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney yesterday (Monday), with American tariffs on Canadian softwood lumber as the primary topic.
The U-S government says it plans to more than double current penalties to 34.5 per cent in a dispute that has raged for decades.
Eby says he and Carney talked about using more B-C lumber to increase housing stocks across the country.
He adds the situation requires the same Team Canada response as we’ve seen for manufacturing and auto industry jobs in Ontario and Quebec.
