And thank you for meeting with us, Minister. Trump's tariff war has put working people under tremendous pressure. With tough times looming, it's more important than ever to make workers' voices heard in the halls of the Legislature — and reflect workers' priorities in the actions of our government.
🇨🇦 Thank you @bcfed.bsky.social, for standing up to protect BC jobs and your tireless advocacy for workers all across our Province.
