New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs says his Progressive Conservative government has filed a court action to protect the property rights of hundreds of thousands of ordinary citizens who he says are threatened by a big Indigenous title claim.
On Thursday, the provincial government filed a motion asking the Court of King’s Bench in Fredericton to amend a giant title claim made by the Wolastoqey Nation in New Brunswick. If granted, it would exclude more than 250,000 properties owned by individuals who are not parties to the claim and unrepresented in the proceedings.
“The Wolastoqey chiefs have consistently said that they are not seeking to displace New Brunswickers or otherwise impact their property rights."In the second paragraph of their statement of claim, the chiefs said they did not want compensation from ordinary property owners. Instead, they said they wanted damages and fair compensation from the province and Canada for allowing their land to go to those ordinary citizens without respecting Aboriginal title.
