Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says the federal government needs to do more to protect property rights for homeowners in British Columbia and across Canada after the Cowichan Tribes decision last year.

The B.C. Supreme Court ruled last August that the Cowichan Nation had title to approximately 800 acres of land in the area of Richmond, B.C. The ruling declared land title grants issued by the federal and provincial governments to others to be “defective and invalid.”
