Kicking off the first episode of 2025 Sedgwick’s Allie Meeres, and Byng Giraud, sat down to discuss the ongoing threat of US tariffs and the top 10 projects B.C. can use to protect our economy. 

Reflecting on the economic and political realities of British Columbia and its economic dependence on the US Byng Giraud notes: “That dependency, not only has it made us vulnerable to the situation today, it's one of the reasons we have low productivity in this country because we live off this 30% discount on our dollar. We've got to get over taking the easy way out here. If we want to be innovative, we need to remember that Japan, Greece and Germany, amongst others, came to this country and said they would like to buy your natural gas, and we told them no.”Read Sedgwick's top 10 list here.
