We find the Act as a whole to represent a disturbingly unaccountable and anti-democratic initiative, in that many of its provisions either bypass, undo, or override established processes, reserving decision-making authority to Ministers or Cabinet and removing those decisions from the purview of the Legislature or any other deliberative and publicly-accountable body or process. It likewise represents a profound abdication of the Province’s obligations towards Indigenous Peoples under Treaties, the Canadian Constitution, and the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples by unilaterally removing or limiting their involvement in co-developing legislation and regulation affecting them as well as consulting on and consenting to specific projects and activities affecting them and/or in their territories.
