Indigenous Affairs

During question period, members questioned the government about the Cowichan land rights decision in British Columbia and its effect on private property. Pierre Poilievre asked why, citing a litigation directive, the government’s lawyers had not defended homeowners’ property rights in the case and its appeal. Mark Carney said private property rights are fundamental, that the government had immediately appealed the decision alongside Richmond, other first nations, and British Columbia, and that its agreements protect both private property and Indigenous rights. He also noted the day was Red Dress Day and spoke about the rights of Indigenous peoples.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
