The British Columbia government has drafted new legislation that would give itself sweeping emergency powers to respond to the threat of U.S. tariffs. The legislative package enables the province to toll U.S. vehicles transiting the province to Alaska and to drop major interprovincial trade barriers. It also includes a provision allowing the province to bypass the legislature in order to “temporarily modify the application or effect of B.C. laws and regulations” in response to threats external to B.C.’s economy or Canada’s sovereignty. The emergency powers would automatically expire in mid-2027.
