I get updates from AME….this just came:

AME Responds to Statement by Minister Nathan Cullen on Proposed Land Act Amendments​
Please see below a statement from Keerit Jutla, President and CEO of AME:

Early this afternoon, AME was made aware that the Ministry of Water, Land and Resource Stewardship will not be proceeding with the proposed amendments to the Land Act. Since the beginning, AME has expressed concerns about the way the B.C. government was undertaking reforms, which are intended to bring the Land Act into conformity with the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA). Our engagement with Minister Cullen was done to ensure that any changes made to the Land Act must be done in a way that bring stability and predictability to the mineral exploration industry.

AME supports the government’s commitment to the implementation of DRIPA. We know that our members also support this goal, but the way the changes were introduced fostered an environment of distrust and uncertainty. This is not an environment that is conducive to building partnerships and economic reconciliation.

We thank the Minister for listening and engaging with AME and its members. We look forward to further discussions with Minister Cullen and the B.C. government to ensure that B.C. remains a competitive, predictable and stable environment for mineral exploration.

Through leadership, advocacy and partnerships, AME will protect and promote the interests of mineral explorers and developers operating, or based, in B.C.​

Let me paraphrase the Minister's statement:

"..we engaged the general public and they told a bunch of lies, slander, blew it out of proportion, spread hurt and distrust, etc. So now we're not proceeding with the amendment"

Be the end to pretty much everything if this goes through .
Can’t imagine people would stand for it as insanity.
Be another have not province .
Cant wait for the day, the people of BC Wake Up and vote some kind of sane Conservitive type government in. The FASCISM of the NDP government is currently taking BC to a place they may never get out from. If the people do not do something soon, they will soon become the California of Canada. JMO

Best part of the above statements are:
“For that reason, our government has decided not to proceed with proposed amendments to the Land Act.

“We will continue to engage with people and businesses, and do the work to show how working together, First Nations and non-First Nations, can help bring stability and predictability, and move us all forward.”
Now will they stick to this and not go down this road.
