Re: Premier Eby, #Indigenous leaders mtg
In #BC the province passed #DRIPA, a law implementing the #UN's Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (#UNDRIP or #DOTROIP.) It came into effect in 2019 and IS THE LAW.
Possibly in response, the parliament of #Canada passed the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (#UNDA) in 2021, and IS THE LAW. In particular, Article 19 requires full, prior, and informed consent on legislation or policy which affects them.
