PRINCE RUPERT - B.C. is poised to attract new investment into our economy, creating and protecting jobs for families in every region. As part of "Canada Starts Here: The BC Jobs Plan" to be formally released on Thursday, Premier Christy Clark made an announcement to help secure B.C. as the preferred gateway to Asia-Pacific trade and enable our resources to get to world markets.

"I am in Prince Rupert today because if you are looking at Canada from Asia, with an eye to investing in our country, Canada truly starts here," said Premier Clark. "It is through British Columbia ports where resources are shipped to Asia, and where goods arrive for distribution at home and to the rest of North America. A bright economic future for British Columbians is linked to opening up Asia-Pacific markets to the rest of Canada, and B.C.'s transportation network will be the key to success."
