Bill 22 “Mental Health Amendment Act” and Bill 17 “Clean Energy Amendment Act“, were passed without engaging with First Nations Title and Rights holders and without regard to the detrimental impacts these bills stand to have on First Nations and the rejection of these bills that many First Nations publicly provided. As a result, the First Nations Leadership Council has raised concerns about the BC government’s commitment to UNDRIP when their actions are incongruent with their words.
