Conservative on First Nations Clean Water Act 2026-10-09

35 words · 2 sentences · 2 clauses

Replying to Leah Gazan (NDP)

“Madam Speaker, the reality is that the Conservatives did a mass disinformation campaign around aboriginal title in the Cowichan case, saying that it threatened property owners. We know that the bill would not recognize aboriginal title and that industry has set up outside reserves, which will totally erode the protection of clean drinking water for the Cowichan tribes. Can the hon. member answer to that?”
