CP NewsAlert: Minister flags concern over BC Ferries’ deal with Chinese shipyard

By Canadian Press on June 10, 2025.

British Columbia’s transport minister says he has raised concerns with BC Ferries about its decision to have a Chinese shipyard build four new ferries for its passenger fleet, amid an ongoing trade conflict between Canada and China.

Mike Farnworth says he’s worried about procuring services from “any country that is actively harming Canada’s economy” with tariffs and protectionism.

More coming.
