MLA Says Marriage Can Weather Bill 15. What of Eby’s Relationship with First Nations?

  • The B.C. government introduced Bill 14 and Bill 15 on April 30 and May 1, 2025, to fast track renewable energy and infrastructure projects in the province.
  • The legislation seeks to expedite infrastructure projects in response to looming tariffs imposed by the United States but has faced substantial backlash over concerns about insufficient consultation and environmental protections.
  • First Nations leaders, including Chief Don Tom, met with Premier David Eby on May 15 and organized protests near the legislature, asserting the bills undermine constitutional consultation rights and environmental standards.
  • Tom criticized government meetings as unproductive since they merely communicate decisions rather than engage in dialogue, and urged MLAs to reject the bills, warning that passing them would mark the end of trust between his community and Eby's administration.
  • If passed, the bills could strain the government’s relationship with First Nations and heighten legal and political conflicts, with First Nations pledging to use all legal means to oppose them and remember actions at the next election.
