Eby Promises to Double Critical Minerals Exports During Campaign Stop at Prince Rupert Port
Eby also promised faster mine approvals, port expansion and a union-led workforce as part of a plan to reach global markets.
- NDP leader David Eby promised to double British Columbia's critical minerals exports within five years during his first campaign stop at Fairview Terminal in Prince Rupert.
- Eby's proposed plan would accelerate approvals for major mines and cut timelines by 60 per cent, while fast-tracking the North Coast Transmission Line to provide clean energy to mining projects.
- Developing these resources for global markets aims to reduce dependence on foreign trade while creating family-supporting jobs and the prosperity needed to strengthen health care and public services.
- Working with the Prince Rupert Port Authority, the government would expand local infrastructure while spending $5 million to help the city grow its burgeoning cruise ship economy.
- Eby claimed Conservatives oppose these plans, jeopardizing a $20 billion federal agreement that sets British Columbia on a generational path to prosperity.
