“The Prime Minister is quietly refusing to defend property rights, even though he pretends to support them. He told his lawyers to back down in the Cowichan case, leaving homeowners vulnerable. The Prime Minister is choosing not to protect homeowners' rights, and hoping we won't notice.”

Indigenous Affairs
In a debate on Indigenous Affairs, MPs argued about a court case related to property rights. The Conservative MP accused the Liberal government of not defending property rights, while the Liberal MP insisted they would always defend private property and had appealed the decision in question. The debate focused on this specific case and claims about the government's stance on property rights.
“I'm going to throw out some empty words about defending property rights, but I'm really just trying to change the subject to indigenous rights instead.”
“The Prime Minister says he's defending property rights, but his own litigation directive proves that's a lie. His lawyers are ordered not to argue what we all know - fee simple ownership comes first. He's throwing B.C. homeowners under the bus. Why?”
“The Conservatives are getting desperate with these makeovers. I'm ignoring their point. I'll just say we appealed one case and we'll defend private property rights like always. And cheer for Indigenous rights. That sounds good.”
