“I oppose this motion because it spreads false information. Agreements with Indigenous groups will not make Canadians lose their homes. Our government protects private property in court, and we want to move forward with reconciliation.”
“Mr. Speaker, this motion misrepresents both the law and the government’s position. It suggests that Canadians could lose their homes because of agreements with indigenous partners, and that is simply not true. Our government has been clear. We support protecting private property rights and we are actively defending them through the courts. At the same time, we will not support a partisan process that supports and spreads fear and misinformation about reconciliation and indigenous partnerships. Our government has been clear that reconciliation is the way in which we want to move forward on these.”
