Prime Minister Mark Carney will be in Vancouver on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, to meet with business and political leaders, including Premier David Eby. Carney's schedule includes an event with the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade (GVBOT) where he will discuss the government's initiatives in clean energy.
The meeting comes after Eby expressed concerns about the federal government's engagement with provinces, particularly highlighting the enthusiasm shown by Carney for Alberta's pipeline project and lower carbon pricing. Eby is seeking similar support for British Columbia's projects, which he believes are equally important for the Canadian economy.
Question
How will the perceived imbalance in federal engagement affect British Columbia's economic development and infrastructure projects?

As a seasoned real estate agent in Greater Vancouver, I see this meeting as pivotal. The outcome could influence not only the local economy but also the real estate market. Investors should remain vigilant and consider how federal policies may shift in response to provincial needs.
