British Columbia’s transport minister says he’s concerned with B.C. Ferries’ decision to hire a Chinese shipyard to build four new ferries for its passenger fleet amid ongoing trade disputes between Canada and China.
“I do have concerns around procuring services from any country that is actively harming Canada’s economy through unfair tariffs or other protectionist trade practices. I have shared these concerns with BC Ferries,” B.C. Transport Minister Mike Farnworth said in a statement.
