On Wednesday, the Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs held a press conference to air their concerns with the deferral deadlines given to First Nations by the province. They say they are upset about the lack of support from the government this the announcement and that they were given consent for deferrals but not logging in their territories. UBCIC President Grand Chief Stewart Phillip joins to discuss. We also speak with Torrance Coste from the Wilderness Committee over their new updated mapping that better reflects the state of logging in these deferral areas.
