Mr. Speaker, for the first time in Canadian history we learned the Government of Canada is prepared to violate the Constitution and expropriate British Columbia property at Nanoose Bay. The premier's office has advised me that the federal government has rejected all offers to settle this dispute.
I have to question the Prime Minister's judgment if he thinks this is the answer to his western alienation committee.
Instead of threatening B.C., will the minister sit down face to face with the premier of British Columbia and move to resolve this dispute through negotiation, not expropriation?
