David Eby, while trying to avoid further blow back on this issue, first claimed he had not been briefed on the situation. However, within three hours of his initial denial, it came to light that Eby was, in fact, present at the signing ceremony between the Musqueam and Ottawa, which took place in his riding, though he was apparently still in the dark as to the agreement’s contents. We are therefore to believe that the premier had no inkling about an agreement that potentially throws land title in all of the Lower Mainland into question and creates massive business and investment uncertainty.
