Wade Grant Liberal
“The local government, First Nations, British Columbia, and the federal government are all working together to appeal this decision. I want to ask my colleague what he is hearing from these groups about their joint appeal.”
“Mr. Speaker, I know that my colleague, the member for Richmond East—Steveston, has been very involved with the issue. He is very concerned as well, because he does take this very seriously with his residents and his constituents. I have seen him working on the ground, not only with them but also with the parties appealing the decision along with the federal government. There is the municipality. There are other first nations. There is the province of British Columbia. There is a unified approach to make sure the decision is appealed. I want to ask the member what he has been hearing from the other parties, so we know they are all working together to ensure that it is appealed.”
