Mr. Speaker, let me be clear. The federal government is defending the property rights. The property rights are not at risk. The only people who are saying the property rights are at risk are the Conservatives over here and their counterparts in the province of British Columbia. They know it and we know it.
The Canadian government will always defend private property rights. None of the treaty agreements take away those rights. We will defend the rights of Canadians.
They are just disseminating fear in the hearts of British Columbians and Canadians for the wrong reasons.
