The British Columbia government will push amendments that will temporarily suspend portions of the province’s Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA), to address concerns over interpretation of the act by the province’s highest appellate court, B.C. Premier David Eby said during a news conference on April 1.

Eby confirmed plans to push the amendments when asked about the matter by a reporter during the conference held in Victoria.
