“The federal government will not negotiate away anyone's private property. Private land ownership is a provincial issue, not a federal one.”
“Mr. Speaker, I talked about the Prime Minister taking responsibility to make sure Canadians know what our position as a federal government is, that we will have their backs. I will reiterate one more piece. The federal government would never negotiate Canadians’ private property, but also, as members know, private land ownership and land deeds fall under provincial jurisdiction. This is why I am stating that this is a provincial matter.”
