Trade and Tariffs: Health, safety, and support for members
Jennifer Wiebe2025-02-04T16:06:40-08:00A 30-day pause is an optimistic sign for a positive resolution, even as it draws out the uncertainty. Across B.C., every manufacturer is considering the potential impacts and planning next steps.
In this high-pressure environment, we recognize that safety may not always be top of mind.
