Alty, the minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations, is steering Indigenous self-government treaties through Parliament, including laws for the Tłegǫ́hłı̨ Got’įnę and the Red River Métis, a commissioner to audit how federal departments carry out modern treaties, and the government’s appeal of the Cowichan aboriginal title ruling to protect private property. She often makes promises without a date or measure, saying she looks “forward to continuing to work with modern treaty partners”. In debate she leans on documents, reading clause numbers and sections of agreements to back her points.Written by AI from their statements. Updated .

In response to a question from Tako Van Popta

“Our government protects private property rights. We appealed the court ruling in the Cowichan case because we disagree with it. Agreements with First Nations have never taken away anyone's privately owned land, and they never will.”

Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, private property rights are fundamental and our government will always defend them. We disagree with the B.C. Supreme Court’s ruling in the Cowichan case, and we appealed it back in September. Any agreement on aboriginal title at the federal level has always and will always protect private property. The federal government has been signing agreements with first nations since the 1970s. No agreement between the federal government and first nations has ever led to Canadians losing their privately owned land. Our government will continue to advance reconciliation and protect the private property rights of Canadians.
