Eby says UNDRIP law could be amended after First Nations win appeal in mining case

SURREY - British Columbia Premier David Eby says his government will review a court decision that appears to show "confusion" over his government's Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act, and will amend the legislation if necessary.

Eby says the B.C. Court of Appeal ruling, in which the Gitxaala and Ehattesaht First Nations challenged the province's mineral tenure system, "potentially puts courts in the driver's seat instead of British Columbians."
