“First Nations leadership have told me directly that they cannot continue to work with a board that does not believe in governing with transparency, integrity or in the public interest,” Beare said.
Songhees Nation Chief Ron Sam expressed “immense gratitude for Minister Beare and her entire team” in a statement.
