“The government says it disagrees with a court ruling about Indigenous land claims, but it has not explained why. Homeowners and businesses need certainty. I want the government to explain what part of the ruling it is challenging and how private property will be protected.”
“Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government says it disagrees with the Cowichan ruling, but Canadians still do not know what exactly the Liberals disagree with. Which part of the ruling are they appealing? On what legal basis does the government believe that private property ownership can coexist with aboriginal title? Homeowners, municipalities and business owners deserve clarity. Why are the Liberals refusing to give Canadians certainty?”
