The federal government needs to build a strong economy and protect the environment at the same time, Trudeau said, adding that he has faith in his government’s ocean protection and emergency preparedness plans.
Trans Mountain pipeline protestors who are opposed to the federal government’s approval of the project were also at the coast guard base at Ogden Point during Trudeau’s visit.
