No.

While B.C. cyclists are mandated to paved highway shoulders
where it's practicable to do so, we are not mandated off the
paved portions of the highways.

The whole thing boils down to some legal terminology --
roadway vs. highway.  Both "roadway" and "highway" pertain
to paved portions.  There's even a proviso in the British
Columbia Motor Vehicle Act that explicitly states that
cyclists are not relegated off the paved portions of highways.
