B.C. growth expected to be strong at 3.1%
Western provinces are expected to weather the effects of the U.S. economic storm, while Ontario and Quebec are likely to suffer fallout from the gloomy outlook south of the border, according to Tuesday`s report from the Conference Board of Canada.
Manitoba is expected to have the fastest economic growth among all the provinces, with an expansion of 3.7 per cent in 2008.
And despite the floundering forest industry, British Columbia will post another strong year with estimated growth of 3.1 per cent in 2008, placing the province fourth behind Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
