HCA under @rparmar_BC: 1. Still flawed after 3 years of work on it 2. Not bothering to take any of the feedback on the last version (unless you believe they could turn around 100s of pages in 2 business days) 3. They want groups to sign NDAs to vet it Three strikes on this one
UBCM@UBCM

UBCM and 4 business orgs are refusing to sign NDAs on the Heritage Conservation Act over concerns that the Province continues to move towards legislation without properly considering feedback provided during its latest consultation period. Full release ubcm.ca/sites/default/…

UBCM has asked BC to spend more time learning about the implications of its planned Heritage Conservation Act amendments. We're concerned about the ambiguity and number of questions that appear unconsidered, and don't believe it's ready for legislation. ubcm.ca/about-ubcm/lat…

Appreciate hearing from Williams Lake Councillor Sheila Boehm, Regional District of Nanaimo Director Vanessa Craig & Fernie Councillor Kevin McIsaac on behalf of @UBCM. Partnership is at the heart of emergency management, by working together, we are creating a safer B.C. for all.

From “urgent” to”non-negotiable” to nothing - @Dave_Eby’s sixth position on DRIPA appears to backing away from changing it entirely. My latest in @BIVnews: biv.com/news/commentar…

My understanding is this is one of the provisions related to treaties now being "living documents." As new rights are gained by other Indigenous groups, they can potentially be added to already ratified treaties. Depending on what's at stake, the consequences could be dramatic.
Scott McInnis MLA@McInnis_4MLA

3🧵 The Certainty Provisions now, allow for future rights to be exercised as they’re defined. What does that mean? Well, if the Cowichan decision stands, Aboriginal Title being a prior and superior right to the land over fee simple COULD be one example. These are very serious and difficult conversations to have. But at the end of the day, we need CERTAINTY with Treaty in order for them to withstand the test of time. What the NDP has done here once again, is placed ideology over common sense, logic, and the public interest. These treaties need to be stable and predictable 5, 10, 100 years down the road. As of today, they are not.

The pushback required for this ill conceived piece of legislation is hard to estimate. Close to 80 negative responses from individual local governments detailing why this change would be bad for British Columbians. Multiple professional organizations and sectors also involved
DouglasTodd@DouglasTodd

The @bcndp have quietly killed a controversial deregulation manouevre that would have taken away more powers from municipalities. Critics said Bill M216, launched by Nanaimo's @G_Anderson1, would have handed developers another way to weaken the professional standards designed to foster livable housing. Wrote about it in November. #bcpoli #vanre #vanpoli @Ayan604 vancouversun.com/opinion/column…

Local governments are here as partners to address the pressing issues that face communities across BC. In this spirit, we look forward to continued engagement with the Province on improving housing, public safety, and long-term sustainability of services.

UBCM is pleased with the Province’s decision to rescind Bill M216, the Professional Reliance Act. We are also grateful to all of the local governments and professional organizations that took the time to share comments on the potential impacts of this Bill.

Thanks to our @UBCM members who provided feedback on Bill M216 and the consequences it would have on development at home in our communities. The local context matters and our voices were heard on this issue. Thanks to @christineeboyle and @BrittnyAnderso for listening.
Rob Shaw@RobShaw_BC

NEW - BC Housing Minister @christineeboyle has pulled the plug on @G_Anderson1's private members bill, the Professional Reliance Act, after @UBCM and several others came out strongly opposing the changes.

Glad to see the province is listening to voices from @UBCM and others who have called for Bill M216 to not proceed. A one-size-fits-all approach to building approvals does not work for the City of Delta. Residents have been clear that decisions about our community should be made by locals, not by bureaucrats in Victoria.
