The B.C. government won’t be tabling controversial amendments that would suspend key portions of the province’s Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA) during this legislative session.

The Premier’s Office provided the update on Sunday evening, hours after a coalition of First Nations leaders published an open letter to B.C. lawmakers stating the changes would be introduced this week, and urged MLAs to reject them.

Premier David Eby is instead slated to hold a press conference on Monday outlining his government’s next steps.

In its letter, the First Nations Leadership Council (FNLC), said Eby had signalled plans to “suspend critical provisions” of the act, “despite overwhelming opposition from First Nations.”
