“UNDRIP was established for conditions in other countries — not Canada.”
John Rustad, BC Conservative Party
BC Conservative Leader · Feb 2024
UNDRIP is a universal human rights framework. Canada formally endorsed it in 2016 under Prime Minister Trudeau — declaring Canada 'a full supporter, without qualification.' All four original opposing countries (Canada, US, Australia, New Zealand) reversed their positions. Canada's federal UNDRIP Act (Bill C-15) received Royal Assent in June 2021.
