Tell BC Liberals: Stop stalling on UNDRIP!

This could be the first time in Canada’s history that the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) is enshrined in law, a momentous step in the right direction toward reconciliation.¹

The bill has already passed its first and second reading unanimously. But now, in its third and final reading -- the BC Liberals seem intent on killing the bill by filibuster.²

And with the committee sitting about to end on Thursday, they might just get their way: the bill will expire if no decision is made.³

The BC Liberals think that no one is watching their delay tactic closely -- but if thousands of us send a message to BC Liberal leader Andrew Wilkinson and BC Liberal house leader Mary Polak and CC our MLA, the BC Liberals will know that not only are their constituents watching their foul play --- so is everyone else in the BC Legislature. It could be the thing that forces their tail between their legs and makes them follow through on their commitment to pass the bill. Will you send a message now?

To BC Liberal Leader Jonathan Wilkinson and BC Liberal House Leader Mary Polak,

The implementation of the bill to recognize the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) is a key recommendation from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission' calls to action, and if passed, would be an historic step forward for British Columbia.

It's come to my attention that BC Liberals are deliberately delaying the passing of this bill -- and if it is delayed any further, the bill will die in the legislature.

Your party has committed to working toward reconciliation with the First Nations peoples of British Columbia, and the First Nations Leadership Council, the BC First Nations Assembly, and other First Nations governing and leadership bodies, are all in agreement that passing this legislation is a key first step.

Honour your commitment to reconciliation today by putting an end to delays caused by BC Liberal MLAs and pass the bill to implement UNDRIP.

Please note I have CC'd the MLA in my home riding to ensure that they are aware of my urgent ask of you and the BC Liberal Party.
