“The Prime Minister is just another tax-and-spend Liberal. This government won't even defend property rights in court. People could lose their homes! I want the government to reverse itself and defend property rights, but it won't.”

Indigenous Affairs
A debate on Indigenous Affairs where the Conservatives pressed the Liberal government on its commitment to defending British Columbian property rights in ongoing litigation. The Liberals argued they are appealing a previous court decision and have advocated for notifying property owners, while the Conservatives remained skeptical of the government's defense of property rights.
“I'm insisting the government isn't really fighting for property rights. Telling owners their land is at risk isn't enough. Your guideline blocks your lawyers from making the best case. Are you on homeowners' side or not? Vote yes, drop your rule, and fight to defend property rights in court.”
“You need to make sure your lawyers make the right arguments this time. Fee simple property rights should be supreme. Seniors who paid for their homes deserve to feel secure. The government should vote for our motion to protect property rights.”
