Replying to Rebecca Alty (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, I have many concerns about that statement, but I am wondering if the member opposite has read the Musqueam agreement. The Musqueam agreement does not reference private property because it does not deal with private property. Agreements do not reference everything they do not deal with. We only talk about things that the agreement is about. I am just wondering if the member opposite has read the Musqueam agreement.”

There are no explicit protections for private property in the agreement and we are currently in a legal scenario.¹ We are in legal limbo as we await the appeal process of the Cowichan decision.² Procedure · 3 wordsAs we said, ProcedureClaims · 30 wordsas the Conservative Party, we have demanded that every new agreement, every new treaty with first nations, must have explicit protections for private property.³ It is a fundamental human right.
