Federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling on Mark Carney’s Liberal government to protect B.C.’s private property rights. Poilievre used a Thursday stop in B.C. to push a four point plan on property rights. That plan includes making sure fee simple property takes priority over land claims, rights are secured in future federal deals with First Nations, those rights are safe across B.C., and Ottawa sets up a parliamentary committee to study the issue. Both the federal and B.C. governments are appealing the recent Cowichan decision that found Crown and city titles over land are defective and invalid.
