Plebiscite, referendum, initiative and recall are available to voters to resist future changes to the Land Act by the BC government – Fraser Institute

In 2024, the BC government introduced amendments to the Land Act, which were withdrawn after critics said they created an Indigenous veto over the use of provincial public land.
If this or a future government tries to use its legislative majority to re-introduce these amendments, BC law provides for four mechanisms of direct democracy that would enable voters to resist.
The plebiscite is a popular vote, called by the cabinet on an issue of public policy. The result is non-binding, but it would be politically dangerous for a government to ignore the outcome. It would probably take a mass petition to galvanize the cabinet into calling a plebiscite.
The referendum is like a plebiscite but is semi-binding; the cabinet must introduce legislation embodying the result of the vote, but there is no guarantee the legislation will pass.
