Mr. Speaker, several first nations have not consented to the Liberals' fast-track of the Pacific link pipeline, but when asked about indigenous opposition, the Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations said it was not an either-or between pipelines or indigenous rights. Well, constitutional rights are not optional.
If the Liberals are planning to bulldoze this pipeline through without the free, prior and informed consent of impacted indigenous peoples, will this just be another pipeline to the courts?
