VANCOUVER, B.C.: Premier David Eby’s statement today is another attempt to block economic progress in British Columbia. Rather than advancing nation-building energy projects to diversify markets, create thousands of skilled jobs, and deliver prosperity for our province, the NDP continue to discourage investment.

Tankers regularly transit the North Coast safely, and modern navigation and spill-prevention technology significantly reduce risks. David Eby’s fear-based rhetoric ignores this reality and stifles opportunity in B.C.

While other countries develop infrastructure and secure long-term prosperity, David Eby allowed B.C. to fall behind based on an ideological refusal to let our resources compete with the rest of the world.

Conservatives believe British Columbians deserve a government laser-focused on growing the economy, creating new jobs, strengthening self-sufficiency, and building the infrastructure that will transform our province.
