On this episode of “The Ben Mulroney Show,” Ben gives an in-depth analysis of British Columbia’s Indigenous rights legislation, intended to mirror the UN’s the Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA), its political implications, and the legal and societal challenges it presents.
B.C. Premier David Eby told reporters that DRIPA legislation has been “probably the most challenging issue I’ve worked on in government.” On Sunday, Eby backed down again on the pausing of key parts of DRIPA, scrapping plans to table a suspension bill this legislative session.
The discussion explores the impact of DRIPA, land claims, and the path toward reconciliation.
