Replying to Jeff Kibble (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, families on Vancouver Island worked hard, played by the rules and bought their homes in good faith. They deserve certainty about their property and their futures, yet under the Prime Minister’s watch, the mishandling of the Cowichan case and the closed-door Musqueam agreement have shaken that certainty. Industry, businesses and homeowners are anxious. Communities are divided. Meaningful reconciliation has been set back by division. Leadership means bringing people together. The Prime Minister has failed that test. Will he finally show any leadership and support our Conservative motion to protect property rights, restore confidence and unite rather than divide the people he is supposed to serve?”
