Mr. Speaker, litigation guideline 14 was the Liberal government instructing federal lawyers not to defend property rights and argue that they extinguished other claims in the federal Cowichan decision. The judge came forward and said, “Okay,” and agreed that aboriginal title, then, came before homeowners' property rights in British Columbia. Now seniors and families toss and turn at night, wondering if they even own their homes.
Will the Prime Minister reverse course, stop muzzling federal lawyers, revoke guideline 14 and defend property rights in B.C.?
