Thank you. I'll try to be fast.
Minister Alty, you'll be aware that British Columbia has adopted UNDRIP into its legal framework. We call it “DRIPA” in British Columbia.
You'll also be aware that the B.C. courts are quite willing to enforce that as positive law, immediately justiciable. I think that is the language they use.
You'll be aware that Premier David Eby was quite surprised with that and promised to amend or suspend DRIPA. Then he faced a caucus revolt and backed off from that.
In addition to all that trouble around UNDRIP in British Columbia, he is now facing an additional challenge, and that is the challenges from U.S. first nations groups. In September 2025, the Washington-based Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation filed a lawsuit in B.C. Supreme Court, saying that B.C. has the duty to consult with them around mining projects. Then, a couple of months later, the Southeast Alaska Indigenous Transboundary Commission and its 14-member Alaska native tribes did the same.
Minister Alty, are you or your government at all concerned that B.C.'s form of UNDRIP is a threat to Canadian sovereignty?
