Indigenous Affairs
In question period on Indigenous affairs, the topic was the Cowichan case in B.C. Supreme Court and its implications for private land ownership. Conservative MP Chak Au said the government chose not to argue extinguishment in the case, which he described as the historical basis for defending fee simple ownership, and asked it to withdraw its directive and instruct its lawyers to defend private property rights. Liberal MP Brendan Hanley replied that the government disagreed with the ruling and had appealed it in September, that it prefers negotiation over litigation, and that no federal agreement with First Nations dating back to 1970 has taken away privately owned land.Written by AI from the debate.
