|Updated:

B.C. Premier David Eby says he wants the oil tanker ban off the province’s North Coast to remain in place in order to protect the environment and allow other cargo in the area to continue unimpeded.

His comments come as Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has been pushing the federal government to remove the ban so Alberta can ship its oil and gas to more markets.
