Premier David Eby presents a path for B.C.’s fate at Indigenous conference

Eby highlighted $4 billion in mining investment and said 9 of 14 clean energy projects are majority Indigenous-owned.

  • On Wednesday, June 3, Premier David Eby delivered a keynote address at the Indigenous Resource Opportunities Conference in Nanaimo, advocating for collaborative mining and energy projects to ensure British Columbia's future success.
  • Seeking to move away from a "litigation-led exercise," Eby emphasized the need for clear permitting processes, boasting about $4 billion in new mining investments this year to support collaborative First Nations agreements.
  • The premier drew attention to 14 clean energy projects across the province, nine majority Indigenous-owned, and noted Ksi Lisims LNG signed a $10-billion agreement with Europe to supply gas annually.
  • Following his presentation, Dallas Smith, CEO of the Nanwakolas Council, questioned the premier on moving beyond transactional relationships, with Eby citing the "unpredictable nature of the decisions" from court cases.
  • While maintaining a largely non-partisan tone, Eby criticized Conservative leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay for comments last month regarding Peter Milobar, characterizing the remarks as an example of the choice voters face.
