B.C. will fight lawsuit by U.S.-based tribes over consultation rights in Canada, Eby says

September 4, 2025

David Eby was responding to litigation brought by the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation in Washington state, which says it is being unfairly excluded from B.C.’s consultation with First Nations.
