For the initiative to move forward and ultimately be considered by the Legislative Assembly, supporters must collect signatures from at least 10 per cent of registered voters in each of B.C.’s 93 electoral districts.
The petition campaign is scheduled to open on Oct. 26 and signatures must be submitted to Elections BC by Jan. 25, 2027.
Elections BC said the petition application was approved in principle. The petition which includes a draft bill will be issued on Monday, Oct. 26. Signature sheets must be submitted to Elections BC by Monday, Jan. 25. To be eligible to sign the petition, an individual must be a registered voter in British Columbia as of Oct. 26.
BC Conservative Leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay said she supports the petition effort and encouraged British Columbians to sign it.
The B.C. Conservatives said the Premier David Eby ‘caved’ to activists and that the act jeopardizes property rights.
In April, the provincial government said it would not try to amend or suspend DRIPA.
