Ellis Ross Conservative
“I agree with the one-year timeline, but only if the rules are clear and follow court decisions on Indigenous rights. We cannot put arbitrary time limits on those rights. This bill contradicts itself on this issue, and the government has not fixed it.”
“Mr. Speaker, without a doubt, yes, I agree with one year, as long as the process is followed and is described clearly and, by the way, as long as the case law is followed that has been laid out by the courts on how to address rights and title. We cannot put an arbitrary time limit on the rights and title of first nations people. That is what I am talking about when I talk about the contradiction in Bill C-39. There is no answer to that.”
