“The Prime Minister says he will protect private property, but his government still tells its lawyers not to defend it in court. I want him to cancel that rule so people in British Columbia can be sure about owning their homes.”
“Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister claims he will defend property rights, but his Liberal government’s own website still shows that litigation directive number 14, which was announced as a directive back in 2019, still remains in effect today. The directive instructs federal lawyers not to defend private property rights in court. While the Prime Minister makes promises publicly, his government policies have not changed. Will he reverse his directive today so British Columbians can have certainty of home ownership?”
