John Rustad, BC Conservative Party
BC Conservative Leader · Feb 2024
DRIPA passed the BC Legislature unanimously: 87 votes in favour, 0 against. Every party — including John Rustad himself — voted yes. During debate, the Minister of Indigenous Relations reaffirmed that DRIPA does not create a veto 'almost 20 times.' The Hansard record is public and searchable.
