Premier John Horgan says he's not concerned that B-C will face significant costs due to Canada's latest sanctions against Russia over the invasion of Ukraine.
Horgan says he supports the federal government's decision to impose a 35 per cent tariff on Russian and Belarus exports to Canada.
Last week, I said British Columbians are ready to help give safe harbour to Ukrainians fleeing violence.
We look out for our neighbours and those in need, like when we welcomed Syrians escaping war.
We’re united in our support for Ukrainians against this illegal invasion.
The move has potential economic consequences for B-C sectors that rely on Russian products, including major construction projects that use Russian steel.
Horgan says the finance ministry will be looking at what the provincial government can do to reduce negative impacts while ensuring sanctions continue.
Sgt. David Lee of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team says the identities of the four people aren't yet being released. He says one of the deceased had a valid firearms licence and access to guns.
