Tories call for hearing on $1-billion federal loan for BC Ferries’ purchase of Chinese vessels

June 26, 2025

The Conservative Party is calling for an urgent hearing into a $1-billion federal loan for BC Ferries’ purchase of four new vessels from China.

Conservative MP and transport critic Dan Albas has written a letter to his colleagues on the House of Commons transport committee, calling for a summer meeting that would hear from Transport Minister Chrystia Freeland and Ehren Cory, the chief executive of the Canada Infrastructure Bank, as part of a “full review” of the federal loan.
