B.C. Premier David Eby says his government backs the federal tanker ban that prohibits oil tankers from stopping, loading, or unloading at protected area ports on the province's North Coast.

"This is a pristine ecological area that produces huge benefits for British Columbia and also is an increasing corridor, generally speaking, for cargo," Eby told CBC's Daybreak North on Tuesday.

"That's why we support the existing oil tanker ban."
