UBCM, business groups refuse to sign NDAs related to B.C.’s heritage act changes
Municipal and business groups say the province is moving toward fall legislation without enough input and are rejecting NDAs to review proposed Heritage Conservation Act changes.
- The Union and several business associations issued a statement Thursday rejecting non-disclosure agreements tied to proposed changes for The Heritage Conservation Act, citing concerns the Province is moving forward without properly considering feedback.
- Since Last August, the Province has sought support for amendments, presenting UBCM with 53 changes developed behind closed doors with First Nations leaders before moving toward fall legislation.
- Officials offered stakeholders access to a Three-column document describing legislative changes only if they sign an NDA, which the Association for Mineral Exploration rejects, calling for a fair, transparent process.
- Forests Minister Ravi Parmar acknowledged concerns but stated many have already agreed to sign the NDA, adding he faces pressure to ensure the legislation is reformed correctly.
- Delaying the legislation past the fall session remains an option if necessary, Parmar noted, as groups continue calling for a fair and transparent process moving forward.
