Opinion: B.C. NDP-Green agreement commits to Indigenous consent

In their power-sharing agreement, the B.C. New Democrat and Green parties commit to support the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the Supreme Court of Canada’s 2014 Tsilhqot’in decision, calling the documents “foundational” to their shared policy agenda. Central to both is Indigenous peoples’ right to free, prior and informed consent when projects or policies affect them.
