Premier David Eby has instructed government agencies and Crown corporations to explore the possibility of canceling U.S. contracts and purchasing from Canadian companies whenever feasible. Additionally, officials have been directed to cancel non-essential travel to the U.S. and reduce participation in U.S. trade organizations.
Eby emphasized that his government is prioritizing Canadian purchases and sourcing from countries other than the U.S., with the goal of reducing reliance on the U.S. This move follows U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to maintain 25 per cent tariffs on Canada while granting relief to other countries.
