00:00:00.000Before I move on to Rogan and say goodbye, I want, you're in BC. People are really worried
00:00:06.320about their private property. Of course, I'm sure you know all about the Cowichan decision.
00:00:10.800Taxpayers Federation, we're, our first step is saying we need to enshrine private property
00:00:15.540rights in the constitution. Are you hearing a lot of worry coming from homeowners in BC
00:00:20.380and across Canada? Where are you on this stuff? Yeah, there's a lot of worry. Basically the
00:00:26.340backstory for anyone who doesn't know, there's been a ruling by the BC British Columbia Supreme
00:00:33.580Court, which says that the Cowichan are entitled to all of the land in an 800 acre radius, but a
00:00:46.360billion dollars worth of real estate because of some hearsay evidence that ancestors one day
00:00:53.740did some seasonal fishing there. It was not the place they resided, but it was where they allegedly
00:00:59.000fished some centuries ago. And the result is that people are worried they're going to lose
00:01:07.140their property. And it's not just Richmond, though. There are claims on almost every square
00:01:12.140inch of British Columbia, and none of those claims are acceded because they're not covered
00:01:19.440by treaties, which typically seed land. Like the prairies don't have to worry because they have
00:01:24.680treaties there where the First Nations seeded the land in exchange for other things. There's no such
00:01:31.180thing in BC. And so right now, all British Columbian private property is at risk. There are
00:01:37.140multi-million dollar investments canceled every day because they can't be secure financing against
00:01:42.520an unsecure collateral. And this could drag on for years. I've presented a four-point plan.
00:01:48.340One is for the Liberal government to reverse its directive to its lawyers.
00:01:53.480Right now, the Liberal government says to the lawyers who are arguing against this ruling in appeal that the government should not fight for fee-simple property rights, I believe because it's politically incorrect.
00:02:06.760I say to Mark Carney, reverse that directive, fight for fee-simple property rights.
00:02:11.020Two, don't sign any more agreements with any First Nation that does not include an explicit clarification that be simple property, your home, your land comes first in any dispute.
00:02:23.320Three, we want Mark Carney to present his plan.
00:02:25.440It's been almost a year since the ruling in August of last year, and we still have no plan for Mark Carney on how he's going to respond to this massive threat to private property.
00:02:33.860And finally, we want a parliamentary committee to immediately begin studying options like the one you discussed, the legal, political and constitutional changes that might be necessary in order to protect private property in B.C. and across the land.
