B.C. Premier David Eby says he will not table legislation to amend or pause parts of a key B.C. indigenous rights law that he had earlier said creates “significant legal liabilities” for the province.
The decision comes after backlash from Indigenous leaders and members of his own caucus. The B.C. premier had revisited the legislation amid heightened public concern about property rights in light of recent court decisions recognizing Aboriginal title over large areas.
