South Okanagan MP Helena Konanz calls on Ottawa for land rights clarity

South Okanagan-West Kootenay MP Helena Konanz is calling on the federal government to provide clear guidelines following a recent B.C. Supreme Court ruling on Indigenous land title. The decision in the Cowichan Tribes case marked the first time a court recognized Aboriginal title over lands that include privately owned properties, creating uncertainty for local landowners and businesses. Konanz is calling for the creation of a multi-party special committee in Parliament to examine the issue and gather public feedback.
