Jamie Schmale Conservative
“I cannot say if we will support future agreements until the government shows us the details. Other agreements were handled poorly. The minister needs to give a specific example for me to give a clear answer.”
“Mr. Speaker, I think I have answered this. It depends what the government is putting on the table. I think we have outlined what we will support and what we will not. If the minister, in the time available, would like to lay out a specific example, maybe I could give a better answer. She is throwing out, “Will Conservatives support this?”, but we do not know what would be in it. If the K’ómoks Treaty were done properly, I think we would have a better chance of pushing it through the House. If the Cowichan decision were argued properly, I think we would have a different outcome for the people of the city of Richmond. To answer this broad question that could include anything, when the government is not putting anything on the table, is very difficult.”
