Eby says B.C. will play a key role in new global order described by PM Carney
Premier Eby highlighted mining and LNG as key to B.C.'s role in global trade, warning repealing Indigenous rights protections could deter investment, with Canada’s unemployment at 6.8%.
- On Wednesday, Premier David Eby in Prince George said B.C. will play a key role in a new international order charted by Prime Minister Mark Carney.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney told the World Economic Forum Monday that the global order faces a rupture, not a transition, and Canada as a middle power can help build a new rules-based order, a significant rupture Eby referenced Wednesday.
- Eby said B.C.'s resource base and Pacific access mean it will be the economic engine by leveraging Pacific markets and India's growing demand for metals and minerals.
- Eby cautioned that stopping talks with First Nations could halt projects worth tens of billions of dollars, invite legal challenges under DRIPA, and cause chaos, unemployment, and economic contraction.
- Carney's call to accelerate investment positions B.C. for growth in energy, AI and critical minerals, with Eby saying `That is where our huge opportunity is` amid rising demand from India in the coming years.
