“The Prime Minister said all federal agreements with First Nations protect private property rights. I checked them, and they do not mention private property at all. Did the Prime Minister mislead the House, or did he not know the facts?”
“Mr. Speaker, I want to again quote what the Prime Minister stated earlier this week in the House: “All federal agreements with first nations, with indigenous peoples and with rights holders protect private property rights and protect indigenous peoples’ rights.” I checked those agreements this morning. As I stated, the Musqueam agreement does not mention the term “private property”. None of those agreements mention private property. Was the Prime Minister misleading the House, or was he ill-informed?”
