the govt got caught..they WILL attack again after the election…

Yup. They saw where things are headed with federal polling. The time for their crap is over!

This appears to be good news, but we all need to realize that it's not over. They are pivoting their approach, recalculating, scheming... The woke sickness won't just stop and accept people don't want 3% of the population to have veto power over 97% of the land and related decisions in this province. And really it's less than 3% because it's often the handful of politicians in that population that serve their own interests and not the population they purport to represent.

Stay vigilant or we'll find ourselves persona non grata in our own homeland. I mean who am I kidding, we already are... But it will be enforced, and all lost.

hmmm important enough to try and sneak it through the back door at midnight but not enough to consult or reforendum...because they KNEW the outcome....everyone MUST know what they tried to do...dry...we have to get rid of FED liberals and BC NDP before they do anything....

This is on hold for now so it won't impact the upcoming election but if they are elected again it will be back guaranteed.

All about the next election. Agree that they will attack again.

[carnivore]

So sad to see their plans stifled again, for now anyways.

British Columbia's First Nations Leadership Council is expressing extreme disappointment over the provincial government's decision to drop planned amendments to the Land Act that would have cleared the way for a shared decision-making process with First Nations when it comes to the use of public land.
The N-D-P government announced it had decided not to proceed with proposed amendments after holding a series of meetings with stakeholders, citing a need to further engage with people and demonstrate the real benefits of shared decision-making in action.
Earlier this month, B.C. United Leader Kevin Falcon said his party could not "support giving veto power to five per cent of the population with impacts to over 95 per cent of public land," referring to First Nations people.
In a Wednesday evening statement, Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, president of the Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs, said "We are absolutely disgusted that the opposition leaders of B.C. United and the B.C. Conservatives leveraged the proposed Land Act amendments as a shameless opportunity for partisan political gain."
Also in the statement, Cheryl Casimer of the First Nations Summit Political Executive described it as "shocking and regressive," that a small cohort of so-called leaders utilized these amendments to tap into racist fears and beliefs for their own benefits.
It also suggested that the amendments would have created space in the law to implement an agreement that may be reached in the future -- agreements which are negotiated in accordance with the process and requirements of section 7 of the Declaration Act passed in 2019.

I guess the First Nations Leadership Council is disappointed. You were so close to having your cake and eating it too and now it has been snatched away from the evil opposition.

Land Act amendments will return: Sea to Sky MLA

West Vancouver-Sea to Sky MLA Jordan Sturdy says he expects the NDP government to bring its Land Act amendments back after the October election, despite putting them on ice in late February.

“If they get re-elected, then they’ll just move on. I don’t see them changing track,” said Sturdy in an interview with Pique.

The Land Act amendments being considered by the Ministry of Water, Land and Resource Stewardship were presented as enabling Land Act decisions to be made with Indigenous governing bodies as part of the process.

They were intended to bring the Land Act in line with the province’s Declaration Act, which works as a framework for implementing the UN’s Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and allows the province to give Indigenous Bodies a formal role in decision making on Land Act matters under certain circumstances. The province is already legally required to consult with First Nations on Land Act matters
