A 25-per-cent U.S. tariff on Canadian goods would be 'devastating' for the province's lumber and forestry industries, Eby said Wednesday.

Eby said the lumber and forestry sectors are already strained by a recent increase in duties amid the ongoing U.S.-Canada dispute over softwood lumber. The premier said he believes B.C. has a strong case to make for the tariff being “badly placed” if Trump’s priority is to reduce costs for Americans. The tariffs would be paid by U.S. importers of Canadian products, potentially driving down demand.

The premier said Trump’s tariff plan “doesn’t make economic sense,” and it’s not necessary to address the serious issues at the border. Eby said he planned to meet with business and labour groups in B.C. following the call to discuss the strategy to protect B.C. jobs and families. Eby said B.C. is not in the same position as Quebec or Ontario in terms of the potential impact of the tariff, but the province is still exposed.
