Vancouver Rundown Monday April 20, 2026

Premier David Eby is using a Monday news conference to back down on his previous plans to suspend DRIPA - the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act. Instead, he’s outlining next steps as MLAs and First Nations voice concerns over the NDP government’s handling of the legislation. Eby has already reversed course on making the matter a confidence vote, meaning if it failed, the government would dissolve, prompting a provincial election. First Nations promise a legal challenge if the BC government changes or suspends DRIPA.
