B.C. Premier David Eby will outline next steps Monday on his government’s plans for the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act, backing away from a plan conveyed to First Nations over the weekend to suspend key provisions of the law this week.
Members of the First Nations Leadership Council said they were informed Saturday by the Premier’s Office that the government would table legislation on Monday seeking to suspend core components of DRIPA, and the related Interpretation Act, for one year, with the ability to extend the suspension.
