Lawyer Predicts Cowichan Title Decision Will Be Overturned
Former senior government counsel Geoff Moyse discussed Indigenous land title with NowMedia video host Jim Csek.
Moyse compared recent Indigenous title declarations on Haida Gwaii to the court ruling in Richmond, stating that private landowners are being overlooked in "reconciliation agreements" that bypass traditional treaties.
Moyse referenced the 2004 Supreme Court of Canada decision, which established the "duty to consult".
