Wildsight joins First Nations, others, in demanding withdrawal of provincial Bills 14 and 15 – Wildsight

May 22, 2025

Wildsight is adding its voice to the chorus of outrage at the BC government’s Bill 14, the Renewable Energy Projects (Streamlined Permitting) Act, and Bill 15, the Infrastructure Projects Act.

“The proposed legislation would allow the government — and all future governments — to green light and expedite any project deemed ‘provincially significant’, bypassing environmental assessments, Indigenous consultation and local community input, ” said Robyn Duncan, Executive Director of Wildsight.

The draft bills, which were introduced to meet demand for more public infrastructure and secure, clean energy sources, could have long-term repercussions for B.C.’s environment and First Nations leadership.
