Mr. Speaker, the politics are obviously coming from the Government of Canada on this issue. Expropriation is the issue here. It is absolutely unacceptable. It violates the Constitution.
How does the government justify expropriation in this instance or any instance? Is it prepared to start expropriating all of Canada in the interest of national security?
I want to know what has changed since 1984. Is the government prepared to confiscate land which rightfully belongs to the people of British Columbia?
