“The government's lawyers missed their chance in the B.C. court to argue that Indigenous land title was wiped out. They cannot use that argument in the Supreme Court now. I want to know what arguments they will use instead.”
“Mr. Speaker, I am feeling frustration from across my riding. We keep hearing the words “all viable arguments”, but we are not hearing all arguments. Will the Liberals acknowledge what the Supreme Court knows, which was established in the B.C. appeals court, which is that the federal government lawyers will not be able to use the main argument, the extinguishment of land title argument, because they failed to do it in the B.C. appeals court? What arguments will they use in the Supreme Court?”
