VICTORIA — The British Columbia government is adding 17 new major investments to its list of priority projects, and Premier David Eby says the recent wrangling over Indigenous rights legislation won’t undermine that progress.
Eby says when companies bring $1 billion into the province, they have a “sophisticated understanding of the jurisdiction” they are walking into, and with instability around the world, these companies are investing in B.C.
The premier says there’s been a lot of misinformation after a court ruled that B.C.’s mineral claims regime was inconsistent with the provincial law that follows the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
Eby says companies are investing at record levels, there’s never been as much mining exploration activity and investors know that there are strong Indigenous partnerships available in the province.
