00:00:00.000 What is your commitment regarding these land grabs, regarding the Indians, regarding the treaties that have been signed by David Eby and his team?
00:00:13.360 UNDRIP, for instance, what are your plans and the party's plans to do about this?
00:00:18.360 It's a five-point plan.
00:00:20.020 The first step would be if I were Premier, I would immediately stop all voluntary transfers of land and money and power.
00:00:26.700 Because a lot of what's being done right now is completely voluntary.
00:00:29.320 Not really even being negotiated.
00:00:31.180 If you look at some of the deals, like the money flowing.
00:00:34.540 Oh, we'll give you $600 million just to do this piece.
00:00:37.060 They get money just to do it.
00:00:39.700 Okay, so stop all voluntary transfers of land, money and power.
00:00:44.500 Secondly, repeal DRIPA 100%.
00:00:46.900 Pull it all out.
00:00:48.240 We have to pull it out because it's been insinuated into so much now.
00:00:52.420 That could be done fairly quickly, sort of like pulling Soji out of everything.
00:00:56.020 It can be done fairly quickly, but it's just saying we're going to do this and it's done and it has to be done within the next month, right?
00:01:02.040 So you pull DRIP out.
00:01:03.740 Then we would declare UNDRIP of no force in effect in British Columbia.
00:01:07.700 We are not going to honor that anymore.
00:01:09.340 Fourthly, we would do sort of, Daniel Smith has led the way a very beautifully amazing woman saying that we want, she's demanding things of the federal government. 1.00
00:01:19.280 We need to demand as a province that Section 35 of the Constitution Act of 1982 be repealed or amended.
00:01:25.200 We cannot go on this way with this, the Aboriginal treaties and rights that were expressed in that because it's caused, it's taking down our province. 1.00
00:01:33.660 And we can't even function, we're in irons, we are stuck.
00:01:37.860 And then the final thing would be to amend or repeal the Indian Act completely and have all reserves go to operate just as townships or municipalities and give every person who's living on there a few simple ownership to their property.
00:01:52.860 This is now yours.
00:01:53.720 There would be some details around this, maybe a simple cash payout to this, but it's over.
00:01:59.040 And now you can function in society the way the rest of us do.
00:02:04.380 You've got your property, you're either going to grow it, you're going to blow it, but you're going to be like the rest of us because everybody has ups and downs.
00:02:10.320 Sometimes we make good decisions, sometimes we make bad ones, but then everybody's the same again.
00:02:14.600 And that would be the sort of five-step plan.
00:02:16.780 And that's really high level, but those are, that's sort of an outline for how you could go forward.
00:02:21.220 And I don't see any other way to do it.
