UBCIC remains opposed to Bills 14 and 15, and stands with title and rights holders, municipalities, environmental and justice orgs, and members of the public who are gravely concerned about the BC NDP consolidation of power. Not the bold actions we expected from the Eby govt.

Premier David Eby & his BC NDP govt have abandoned the path of reconciliation by arrogantly passing Bill 15. Appears PM Mark Carney is following the same wrongheaded fast-tracking approach…”Building Canada Strong” will be a return to protests, uncertainty & conflict. #Insanity

Politicians take every opportunity to post online about the things they're proud of. It says everything about Bill 15 that progressive MLA's active on this platform like Christine Boyle and Josie Osborne 🇨🇦 haven't mentioned it once. #bcpoli

A simple lesson from Canada’s 🇨🇦 history: Economic uncertainty and delays in permitting do not come from doing too much for Indigenous rights, it comes from doing too little. I hope PM Mark Carney grasps this common sense truth… which clearly David Eby does not. #cdnpoli

It’s never too late to do the right thing. I’m all for economic development and building infrastructure. The BC govt really needs to double down and introduce initiatives that show their commitment to investing in the trades/ skilled workforce…UBCIC vancouver.citynews.ca/2025/05/29/bc-…

“Rather than working with Indigenous peoples 2 identify, build support and line up nation-building projects they are sitting in closed rooms and exchanging lists of projects they want to build, even though many Indigenous governments have made it clear they are open for business”

Today Canada became weaker. Bill C-5 gives unchecked powers in a few officials, overrides laws of Parliament, & steamrolls constitutional rights. Our economy won’t grow by creating conditions of uncertainty & conflict… Our sovereignty is not protected by being anti-democratic.
