VICTORIA, B.C.: “I am deeply disappointed that the Speaker has refused our request for an emergency debate on the Cowichan ruling. For thousands of British Columbians, especially homeowners and business owners in Richmond, this is absolutely an emergency. Richmond residents opened letters from their city telling them that Aboriginal title has been declared on their land.

They deserve answers, not silence.

“The Speaker may not think this is urgent, but families who are wondering whether they still own their homes certainly do. The Conservative Party of British Columbia will always stand up for landowners, property owners, and common sense. We will keep fighting until British Columbians have clarity, confidence, and security in the ownership of their homes and businesses.”
