Best Answer

The only access Canada has to the Pacific is through BC. The term Canada's Pacific Gateway is meant to remind everyone, including those in BC, that Canada has access through BC and has ownership of the waters off the coastline. Canada and it's members can ship products and has access to three oceans, including the Pacific.
