“The government made the Musqueam deal in secret. Even the Premier of British Columbia did not know about it until it was signed. That is not transparent, and the government is failing Canada.”
“Mr. Speaker, in my comments, I said “secretly negotiated”. The Musqueam agreement was negotiated behind closed doors. Even the Premier of British Columbia claimed he did not know about it until the actual signing. That is secrecy, not transparency, and it is how the government is failing our country. As far as the comments are concerned, I have not heard those comments and I am not in a position to comment on them.”
