B.C. Premier David Eby says Ottawa must increase its investments in provincial infrastructure improvements, citing the urgent need for upgrades to the flood-ravaged Highway 1 that runs through the Fraser Valley.
Major flooding last week led to the shutdown of large portions of Highway 1, a critical artery for truckers travelling to B.C. ports and commuters travelling into the Lower Mainland.
