Indigenous Affairs
During a debate on Indigenous Affairs, Conservative MPs repeatedly raised concerns about private property rights in British Columbia, criticizing the Liberal government's handling of the Cowichan decision and Musqueam agreement. Meanwhile, Liberal MPs accused the Conservatives of fearmongering and insisted that the government is defending private property rights and appealing the Cowichan decision in court. There was little substantive discussion of broader Indigenous issues beyond this specific dispute over land rights in B.C.
“You caused this reconciliation mess. You are failing on private property rights. You even failed the city of Richmond. We fixed it. Support our solution.”
“You say you'll defend property rights, but people are still scared. Will you support our motion to protect property rights for real?”
“Families on Vancouver Island worked hard and bought homes. They deserve certainty about their property. But the Prime Minister's mismanagement has shaken that certainty. People are anxious. Communities are divided. Reconciliation has been set back. Leadership means bringing people together. The Prime Minister failed. He should support our motion to protect property rights, restore confidence and unite people.”
“The government should replace guideline 14. Put property rights first in Cowichan. Protect fee simple ownership. Publish a plan. Vote Conservative to protect property rights.”
