Can you explain to me what part of this bill specifically is meant to be a "power grab"?

The legislation, as drafted, conflicts with the government’s obligations under the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples while granting the province “extraordinary powers” to override local government regulations, including zoning bylaws and official community plans, the groups said.

Which sections specifically grant these "extraordinary powers" and which sections conflict with the obligations of UNDRIP?

Try using your own words and the link to the legislation I provided this time.
