“Since the release of the Cowichan Title decision this past August, the issue of reconciliation, Aboriginal Title, and private fee simple title has been inflamed by this government’s inadequate response and opposition parties’ misinformation and disinformation,” said Rob Botterell, MLA.
The BC Greens are calling on the NDP government to implement a Three-Point Reconciliation Plan.
“We believe this 3-point plan can reset the tone, reduce tensions, and allow the land question to be addressed in the legislature with First Nations in a depoliticized way,” said MLA Botterell.

Once unusual in the BC legislature, they have become routine this fall
Typically, bills proceed to second reading with a unanimous verbal vote. MLAs say, "Aye" - basically an acknowledgement there is merit to debating whatever the bill proposes #bcpoli

When MLA Jeremy Valeriote toured the proposed route of the PRGT pipeline this summer, he learned from residents that they'd been denied a Health Impact Study because there weren't enough "human receptors" to justify one.
Today, he brought those concerns to the legislature in Victoria.

While PM Carney’s fast-tracking initiative has been touted as a response to U.S. President Trump’s trade war, critics have pointed out the projects are largely backed by foreign-owned corporations — and include substantial U.S. investment.
