Ravi Parmar
Ravi Parmar is the British Columbia forests minister who has been vocal about the impact of U.S. tariffs on Canadian softwood lumber. During a trade mission in California, he highlighted the potential increase of tariffs up to 55%, contrasting it with the current 14% duty. Parmar advocates for understanding the detrimental effects of such tariffs on building costs, especially in the wake of significant housing loss due to wildfires.
