The B.C. government is consulting the public on reforms to the Land Act to facilitate shared decision-making under the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA). The Land Act deals with how public land is used and covers tens of thousands of tenures on public land. Given that public land makes up 95% of British Columbia, it's no surprise that this consultation process has attracted significant public attention and debate.
