Replying to Pierre Poilievre (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, there is more tax, more cost, more chaos and more of the same. The Prime Minister is just another Liberal. Take, for example, the threat to the property rights of British Columbians. The Liberal government instructed its lawyers not to defend the property rights of British Columbians in the Cowichan case. In fact, they are forbidden to this day, based on guideline 14, which is still on the government’s website, from putting property rights first. That case is coming up for appeal. People who paid for their homes and paid down their mortgages are worried about losing their most treasured asset. Will they reverse themselves, vote for the Conservative motion and defend property rights in court?”
