“Mr. Speaker, I appreciate my colleague’s remarks on this issue and the broader concern around private property rights. Could my colleague speak further to how government delay and unclear action on property rights risks setting a precedent nationwide and what that does to public trust when Canadians want certainty that their homes truly belong to them?”

Mr. Speaker, Procedure · 9 wordsthat goes to the second part of my speech.ProcedureClaims · 114 wordsWe have the Cowichan decision, with so much uncertainty around a large swath of land within the city of Richmond.1Then we have the Musqueam agreement, 2which is basically a menu for future talks to land on a treaty or self-government agreement, wherever that may land.3In that agreement, the government, knowing all this uncertainty, did not address, or at least put in protections, that private property within the claimed area was off limits and was not going to be on the menu.4The government, unfortunately, went ahead anyway, knowing that this uncertainty is spreading across the country.Now we have cases in New Brunswick and elsewhere that are growing because of this uncertainty.5Reasoning · 33 wordsPeople need to have trust in the system, so property owners know that if they buy a piece of property in good faith and pay their mortgage, they are entitled to that property.
