“This motion asks the government to protect private property in all future deals with First Nations. But we make deals about things like schools, health care, and police, which have nothing to do with private property. Why are the Conservatives only asking for this in deals with First Nations, and not in deals with provinces?”
“Mr. Speaker, one part of the motion, part (c), calls on the government “to make no agreement without explicit property protection so that fee simple property rights are enshrined in all future agreements with First Nations”. However, agreements relate to education, health and policing. We do not reference private property there. Are the Conservatives proposing that we include the health transfer for the Government of British Columbia or any type of provincial government? Why is it limited to first nations?”
