Brad Vis Conservative
“Recent legal decisions have made homeowners in British Columbia worry that their land is not safe. The government is not protecting private property rights. I want the Liberals to change their legal approach and support our motion to protect people's property.”
“Mr. Speaker, the Liberals are failing to defend Canada’s system of private property rights and indefeasible title while sowing confusion and fear among homeowners about whether their land is secure. With the Cowichan decision and the Musqueam agreement raising serious and valid concerns, British Columbians are wondering whether their private property rights will be defended at all, especially after the government constrained its arguments on extinguishment. Will the Liberal government fix its litigation and negotiation policies and commit to protecting Canadians’ property rights by supporting our Conservative motion today?”
