Mr. Speaker, Chief Stewart Philipp, the president of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, described the B.C. government's action as “very aggressive, what we call the jackboot approach”.
It is clear that all British Columbians, including B.C. Liberals and aboriginal leaders, want a full debate on the Nisga'a agreement.
Will this government commit to British Columbians that it will not introduce the Nisga'a bill until B.C. has had a full debate?
