B.C. lieutenant governor Wendy Cocchia read out the throne speech and its plans to tackle U.S. President Donald Trump ’s threat of tariffs on Canadian exports to its southern neighbour.

“In the face of an unprecedented and unjustified threat to our economy, British Columbians are joining with all Canadians to fight back,” it said.

“We are all saying with one unified voice: our country is not for sale.” Raj Chouhan , NDP MLA for Burnaby-New Westminster , was officially acclaimed as Speaker.

Chouhan led all 93 representatives in a stirring rendition of the Canadian national anthem.
