From YouTube: FEBRUARY 12 2020 Question Period
Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
5th Session
41st Parliament
C
Yesterday,
Mr
Speaker,
we
saw
this
facility
the
legislative
precinct,
effectively
blockade
and
obstructed
for
about
six
hours.
This
is
not
the
first
time
we've
had
public
infrastructure
blockaded
and
in
recent
memory
we
have
the
Schwartz
Bay
terminal,
which
was
shut
down
on
January
20th
of
this
year.
The
CN
Rail
Link
near
new
Hazleton
from
February
8th
to
12th,
and
we
all
know
the
risk
of
fatalities
and
rail
lines
dealt
important.
C
Port
of
Vancouver
February,
8th,
the
ninth,
the
Johnson
Street
Bridge
in
the
Bay
Street
Bridge
February,
10th
Vancouver's,
cambian
of
and
the
Broadway
intersection
on
February
11th
for
a
gather,
14
hours,
and
then,
of
course,
today
we
have
the
Granville
Street
bridge,
blocked
in
both
directions
on
the
main
route
between
vgh
and
st.
Paul's.
So
the
question
obviously
comes
up.
How
much
longer
will
the
premier
tolerate
this
obstruction
of
essential
infrastructure
that
not
only
inconveniences
people
but
puts
people's
lives
at
risk
and
makes
life
miserable
for
ordinary
British
Columbians
premier.
D
And
I
thank
the
leader,
the
opposition
for
his
question.
Clearly
with
respect
to
events
here
yesterday,
I,
don't
think,
there's
a
member
of
this
house
that
that
was
not
disoriented
and
disrupted
in
our
activities
here.
I
give
full
credit
to
the
staff,
as
the
leader
of
the
Opposition
did
in
keeping
our
legislative
precinct
operating.
We
delivered
a
throne
speech
that
had
a
whole
host
of
issues
that
that
give
hope
to
British
Columbians
in
every
corner
of
this
province
with
respect
to
their.
D
Putting
other
people
at
risk
is
not
acceptable.
Every
member
of
this
house
agrees
with
that
statement.
We
need
to
ensure
that
law
enforcement
has
the
tools
they
need.
That's
through
the
courts.
It
is
not
through
edicts
from
politicians.
We
need
to
respect
those
issues
that
have
kept
this
country,
vibrant
and
dynamic
for
hundreds,
a
hundred
and
fifty
plus
years
and
I'm,
confident
that
all
members
agree
with
that.
C
There's
no
dispute
in
this
house
in
our
society
that
peaceful,
orderly
dissent
is
part
of
our
democracy.
That's
what
the
front
long
legislature
was
designed
and
built
for,
and
that's
why
it
remains
an
open
space
through
thick
and
thin.
The
British
Columbians
have
limits
on
the
right
of
protest.
Closing
The
Container
Terminal
at
Prince
Rupert
costs
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
day
in
lost
wages
alone,
let
alone
lost
commerce
and
lost
credibility.
C
B
D
Thank
You,
honorable
speaker
and
I
appreciate
those
on
the
other
side
of
the
house,
have
multiple
leaders
in
Ottawa,
but
certainly
mr.
Singh.
Mr.
Singh
is
entitled
to
his
opinions,
as
are
all
British
Columbians,
and
indeed
all
Canadians
I
will
agree
with
the
member
and
I
know.
This
will
be
disorienting
for
him.
I
agree
with
the
member
that
we
need
to
address
the
challenges
that
the
disruptions
in
activities
in
British
Columbia
have
resulted
from
the
dispute
on
the
land
of
the
what
sort
and
people
in
northern
British
Columbia.
D
But
we
all
know
that
the
people
that
were
assembled
here
yesterday
we're
talking
about
a
whole
bunch
of
issues
completely
disassociated
with
the
what
certain
people
and
a
host
of
other
issues.
This
is
a
challenge
for
all
of
us.
Government
opposition,
regular
citizens,
but
we
do
not
want
to
live
in
a
society
where
politicians,
direct
law
enforcement
to
do,
issues
that
are
outside
the
bounds
of
their
abilities
with
within
the
confines
of
our
judicial
system,
seek
an
injunction.
C
Well,
since
the
leader
of
these,
the
government
of
British
Columbia's
prepared
to
dismiss
the
remarks
from
his
federal
counterpart,
who
seems
to
think
the
police
should
stay
out
of
the
way.
Let's
try
another
one.
It's
no
secret
that
the
NDP
of
encouraged
and
supported
protesters
and
illegal
blockades
in
the
past.
C
The
non
Minister
of
forests
who
sits
behind
the
premier
has
said
quote
in
the
what
certain
governance
system,
the
rightful
Aboriginal
title
holders
are:
the
red
eteri
chiefs
and
quote
a
year
ago
that
Minister
visited
the
legal
camp
to
show
his
government's
continued
support
for
the
hereditary
Chiefs,
who
were
at
the
time
obstructing
permits
and
have
recently
been
blocking
a
court-ordered
injunction.
The
parliamentary
secretary
for
emergency
preparedness
said
quote:
the
elected
banned
council
system
is
a
colonial
construct.
C
End
quote
so
premier,
it's
time
to
rise
and
make
clear
that
the
rule
of
law
as
created
by
this
institution
is
the
law
of
British
Columbia
and
that
the
role
of
the
government
of
the
day
is
to
enforce
the
law.
So
will
the
premier
stand
here
today
and
disavow
the
remarks
from
his
Minister
of
forests
and
is
a
parliamentary
secretary
and
stand
by
the
rule
of
law.
D
You,
honorable
speaker
and
again,
I
appreciate
that
out
of
context
comments
are
the
stock
and
trade
of
opposition
parties,
but
this
is
an
extremely
serious
issue
and
all
of
us
understand
that
and
I
think
it's
important
that
we
hold
it
in
that
place
and
talk
about
these
things
in
an
open
way.
All
of
us
unanimously
supported
the
declaration
on
the
rights
of
indigenous
peoples
just
last
fall
and
those
words
need
to
mean
something
beyond
just
being
on
a
piece
of
paper.
That
means
honest,
genuine
dialogue
with
the
different
views
in
our
province.
D
E
Thank
You
mr.
speaker
in
2015,
the
now
Minister
of
forests
said
and
I
quote
in
the
wet
sweatin
governance
system.
The
rightful
Aboriginal
title
holders
are
the
hereditary
cheese.
No
hereditary
chiefs
have
said:
yes,
the
pipeline's
in
their
territories.
In
fact,
they
have
said
no
to
LNG
related
gas
pipelines
across
their
traditional
territories.
End
quote:
will
the
Minister
stand
in
this
house
at
admit?
He
was
wrong
and
reject
his
past
comments.
Will
the
Minister
admit
his
actions
inflame
the
situation
and
ultimately
encouraged
unlawful
behavior
premier
uncle.
D
Speaker
all
of
us
here,
dual
roles,
those
on
this
side
of
the
house,
a
portion
of
us
are
in
government
were
part
of
Executive
Council.
Every
member
of
this
house
is
accountable
and
responsible
to
their
constituents.
The
member
first
Akeem
was
visiting
his
constituents
and
they
were
conducting
lawful
activity
when
that
stopped,
he
stopped
meeting
with
them.
D
I
think
it's
beyond
the
pale
honourable
members
to
bring
up
acting
on
behalf
of
your
constituents
as
part
and
parcel
of
what
has
been
not
a
recent
phenomenon,
but
a
hundred
and
fifty
year
old
challenge
about
addressing
the
injustice
to
his
Digitas
people's
right
across
this
province.
That's
what
we
all
collectively
agreed
to
do
last
fall.
Let's
redouble
our
efforts
to
come
together
to
find
a
way
forward,
each
of
us.
At
the
same
time,
all
members
of
this
house
making
a
better
British
Columbia.
E
Queensboro
on
a
supplemental,
Thank
You.
Mr.
speaker,
it's
important
to
note.
Of
course
the
Minister
of
forests
was
Minister
at
that
time
when
he
visited
that
site
number
one.
It's
also
important
to
note
on
the
record
that
twenty
First
Nations
elected
bands
have
supported
this
pipeline.
It's
also
important
to
note
that
there's
gonna
be
a
billion
dollars
worth
of
construction
work
available
to
First
Nations
and
non
First
Nations
communities.
The
problem
with
the
NDP
mr.
speaker
is
they
want
to
have
it
both
ways
in
opposition.
E
They
routinely
participated
in
protests
against
the
coastal
gasoline
pipeline
and
vowed
to
stop
the
project.
This
week,
the
friend
and
predecessor
of
the
Minister
advanced

chimed
in
she
is
presently
the
NDP
MP
for
Vancouver
ease.
She
had
this
to
say
quote
as
arrests
continue.
There
are
uprisings
all
across
the
country.
People
from
all
four
directions
are
rallying
in
support
of
the
wet
sweatin,
shutting
down
roads,
rail
lines,
ports
and
trains.
End
quote:
will
the
administer
admit
today.
These
statements
are
wrong
and
that
they've
encouraged
unlawful
protests.
D
D
D
F
Thank
You
mr.
speaker,
we
indeed
have
seen
escalating
protests
across
the
province
and
across
the
country
as
people
are
rallying
in
response
to
the
wet
so
tan
hereditary
Chiefs,
who
who
have
has
been
pointed
out,
opposed
the
coastal
gasoline
pipeline
at
its
core,
though,
and
what's
not
being
said
in
the
previous
questions,
is
that
these
protests
represent
the
long-standing
failure
of
Canadian
governments
to
properly
adhere
to
Supreme
Court
decision
that
established
the
need
to
address
and
reconcile
Aboriginal
rights
in
title
with
the
Crown
sovereignty.
F
The
issues
that
the
wetzel
and
hereditary
chiefs
have
raised
are
not
new
government
has
been
well
aware
of
the
existing,
long-standing
and
unresolved
matters
relating
to
rights
in
title
in
the
area,
and
yet,
in
spite
of
this,
the
NDP
prioritized
the
financial
regime
putting
in
place
to
get
LNG
Canada
knowing
well
at
full,
well
that
there
was
work
to
be
done
in
the
wetsuit
and
territory.
My
question
is
to
the
Minister
of
indigenous
relations
and
Reconciliation.
Why
did
the
government
proceed
with
approving
a
fiscal
package
for
LNG
Canada
when
they
knew
these
outstanding
matters?
G
Thank
You
honorable
speaker
and
I
thank
the
the
member
of
the
the
leader
of
the
third
party
for
his
question.
This
project
represents
a
significant
opportunity
for
all
people
in
British
Columbia,
honourable
speaker,
3,000
people
so
far
have
been
hired
on
the
project.
Local
and
indigenous
businesses
are
benefiting
from
this
project
and
the
project
will
generate
its
estimated
twenty
three
billion
dollars
to
in
revenue
to
the
people.
A
British
economy
for
the
services
that
we
all
use
and
and
care
about.
G
Bc
did
conduct
extensive
consultations
with
indigenous
nations
and
and
has
been
and
is
signed
up
with
the
vast
majority
of
those
nations
to
signed
agreements
along
the
pipeline
route.
Substantial
efforts
also
have
been
made
to
consult
and
accommodate
concerns
that
have
been
raised
and
I
should
also
note
that
we've
been
engaging
in
meaningful
discussions.
Government-To-Government,
nation-to-nation
discussions,
reconciliation
discussions
with
the
office
of
the
with
Sultan,
that
is
the
hereditary
Chiefs.
Honorable
speaker,
our
discussions
are
proceeding
in
a
respectful
way,
with
recognition
that
this
work
together
is
both
complex
and
will
take
time.
F
Thank
You
mr.
speaker,
one
of
my
proudest
moments
as
an
MLA
was
the
passage
of
the
declaration
on
the
rights
of
indigenous
peoples.
Act
drip
as
it's
known.
One
of
my
hardest
days
was
being
escorted
into
this
place
by
police
to
get
past
protesters
screaming
that
reconciliation
is
dead
just
because
I've
worked
with
the
Minister
for
over
two
years
to
bring
us
to
the
introduction
in
the
passage
of
drip.
Last,
this
past
fall
when
this
House
passed
drip
unanimously.
F
We
all
took
responsibility
for
recognizing
that
indigenous
laws
within
the
Canadian
legal
system,
while
also
expressly
recognizing
that
leadership
other
than
established
by
the
federal
Indian
Act
exists.
I
will
never
Excel,
except
that
reconciliation
is
dead.
In
fact,
now
is
when
we
must
lean
in.
However,
it
is
more
important
than
ever
the
dis
government,
through
their
words
and,
more
importantly,
their
actions,
shows
a
pathway
forward.
My
question
again
to
the
minister
of
indigenous
relations
and
reconciliation.
What
are
the
immediate
steps
he
is
taking
to
initiate
a
more
positive
dialogue
and
set
in
motion?
G
Again,
thank
you,
honorable
speaker
and
and
thanks
to
the
member
for
the
question
the
leader.
The
third
party
also
I,
want
to
thank
him
for
his
advice
and
his
insight
for
the
last
two
and
a
half
years
on
on
the
work
we've
been
doing
in
the
ministry
of
indigenous
relations
of
reconciliation
around
around
a
whole
range
of
initiatives
regarding
the
reconciliation.
I
want
to
thank
him
for
that.
G
While
the
events
of
the
past
week
underscore
I
think
the
challenges
that
we
all
face
in
reconciliation,
they
are
no
way
shape
and
shake
our
resolve,
as
government
or
I
would
hope
for
all
of
us
in
this
place
to
advance
reconciliation.
Bc
is
the
leader
in
advancing
reconciliation.
We
made
history
by
recognizing
the
the
human
rights
of
indigenous
people
in
law
in
this
place
just
a
few
months
ago.
The
process
of
aligning
BC
laws
to
the
UN
declaration
will
take
time,
but
that
work
is
already
underway,
we'll
speaker.
G
The
next
step
is
developing
an
action
plan
in
in
collaboration
with
indigenous
peoples,
which
will
set
out
the
priorities
and
the
the
timeline
and
the
accountabilities.
We
have
begun
discussions
with
indigenous
partners
on
how
best
to
involve
indigenous
peoples
in
the
development
of
the
action
plan
and
in
addition,
our
Minister
all
ministers
are
continuing
to
their
work.
Their
ongoing
work
to
look
at
their
legislation
within
their
ministries
to
bring
them
into
alignment
with
the
UN
declaration,
but
there's
a
lot
more
to
do
and
and
the
reconciliation
is
a
top
priority
for
this
government.
G
Regardless
of
the
events
of
this
last
week,
we've
just
remind
everyone
in
this
house
the
the
the
the
50
million
dollars
towards
indigenous
language,
revitalisation,
the
sharing
of
revenue,
the
largest
revenue
sharing
agreement
in
the
history
of
this
province,
three
billion
dollars
over
25
years,
long-term,
stable
funding
that
never
existed
before
for
every
First
Nations
community
in
this
province,
delivering
affordable
housing
on
reserve
on
reserve.
Honorable
speaker
never
done
before.
G
And,
of
course,
ensuring
ensuring
honorable
speaker
that
children
are
cared
for,
they
are
cared
for
in
indigenous
communities
where
that
care
belongs,
and
all
of
that
work
if
aims,
point
forms
a
basis
for
us
as
a
government
changing
the
crown
indigenous
relationship
in
a
way
that'll
make
it
better
for
all
people
in
British
Columbia.
Thank
you.
H
Good
grief,
the
politics
in
this
place
hasn't
done:
First
Nations
any
favors,
it's
politics,
the
guards
for
this
place.
You
talk
about
going
to
talk
to
every
cheese,
going
to
talk
about
the
issues.
On
that
same
day,
when
you
went
to
talk
to
her
to
cheese,
did
you
go
visit
the
bank
councils
to
did
you
think
about
all
the
issues
First
Nations
are
facing
the
suicides,
the
unemployment?
H
Did
anybody
talk
about
that?
I
heard
these
words
accountability,
honest
genuine
dialogue.
Nobody
has
any
business
going
into
these
First
Nation
communities
and
furthering
the
divide
in
any
of
the
communities
should
be
ashamed.
Yourselves,
you're
talking
about
one
of
the
most
vulnerable
people
in
Canada
and
I've,
already
heard
heckling
Who
am
I,
who
is
heckling
me
where's,
that
member
from,
however
central.
H
These
are
real
issues
and
for
the
first
time
in
our
history,
we
have
the
opportunity
to
fix
these
issues.
But
no,
what
do
we
see?
We
see
1%
of
a
minority
being
addressed
in
this
house,
nobody's
talking
about
the
99%
of
the
people
that
are
being
put
into
jobs,
education
and
training
and
fixing
their
own
lives.
H
We
talk
about
Aboriginal,
title
title
here,
which
case
law
principle.
Are
you
talking
about
Haida
Dogma
Miccosukee,
which
one
there's
a
whole
rafter
of
case
law
principles
that
define
the
relationship
between
the
crown
and
First
Nations?
That's
the
rule
book.
We
should
have
been
following,
not
the
political
road
that
were
taken
now.
My
question
is
the
Minister
of
innocence.
Relations
on
January
27th,
you
hired
Nathan
Colin
to
talkto,
wouldn't
hurt
their
Chiefs.
Is
he
still
working
for
you
guys.
G

We've
actually
been
working
with
the
office
of
its
Orton
for
over
a
year,
I
was
honored
to
attend
an
event
smoke
feast
which
the
premier
members
from
Stettin
and
myself
attended,
and
it
was
an
inclusive
process
where
elected
were
present,
along
with
the
hereditary
Chiefs
we
have
since
then,
since
that
time
we
have
initiated
a
reconciliation
process,
we
have
provided
resources
to
help
with
that
to
hopefully
bring
unity
together
within
the
resulted
people.
There
were
disagreements.
Obviously,
between
elected
and
hereditary
on
on
the
roles
of
governance
within
the
wit
Soltan
are
worked
with.
G
The
officer
we're
told,
with
sortin
in
in
our
in
our
relationship,
building
and
learning
the
role
of
the
hereditary
and
and
how
that
plays
with
the
rest
of
the
community
and
that
work
will
continue.
It
began
with
an
invite
from
the
office
of
which
Orton
to
attend
a
very
important
ceremony
and-
and
we
were
all
very
honored
to
take
part
in
that
and
and
III,
don't
make
any
apologies
for
the
work
we're
doing
on
reconciliation
with
all
with
Sultan
people.
H
So
the
question
is:
is
Nathan
Cohen
still
working
for
you
guys?
That
was
the
question
didn't
ask
if
the
work
was
ongoing
on
reconciliation?
What
not?
This
was
a
specific
exercise
undertaken
by
the
government,
but
what's
this
look
at
what
Nathan
Collins
has
said
over
the
years
on
January
Colt
for
the
word
suit
and
responsibility
falls
the
traditional
elders,
their
hereditary
cheats
of
each
of
the
house.
H
H
You
hired
a
guy
that
already
has
a
biased
against
LNG,
and
always
it
has
an
opinion
on
what
rights
and
title
should
look
like.
The
only
people
should
determine
that
is
of
course,
Abby's
in
Canada.
Not
some
ex
politician
who
already
has
made
some
fake
statements.
So
question
remains:
is
Nathan
Collins
still
working
for
you
guys.
D
Premier,
honorable
speaker
and
I,
appreciate
the
the
view
of
the
member
force.
Kina
again,
I
want
to
reiterate
that
the
objective
of
government,
any
government
all
governments-
is
to
try
and
find
a
positive
way
forward
for
all
people
in
the
jurisdiction.
You're
responsible
for
and
I
make
no
apologies
for
taking
someone
with
the
caliber
of
Nathan
Cullen,
well
respected
by
coastal
gas,
linked
by
LNG
Canada,
by
the
opposite
of
it
so
and
by
this
government
and
asking
him
to
help
us
find
a
way
forward,
because
that's
what
governing
is
about
finding
a
way.
D
Absolutely
the
members,
absolutes,
are
the
whole
point.
That's
the
whole
reason
why
we're
trying
to
unravel
this
to
bring
to
bring
the
jobs
that
we
all
want
in
the
community
that
he
represents
to
bring
prosperity
to
all
British
Columbia's,
not
just
those
who
are
lucky
enough
to
buy
in
at
the
start.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
First,
Peoples
and
everyone
is
in
a
position
to
benefit
from
the
splendor
of
this
problem.
You
can
shake
your
head.
All
you
want,
member!
You
can
shake
your
head!
All
you
want
you
don't
care
about
money!
B
A
Thank
You
mr.
speaker,
while
we've
talked
about
what
happened
yesterday
here
at
this
building,
we've
also
heard
recitation
of
the
shutdown
of
ports.
Major
roadways,
what's
happening
in
downtown
right
now.
I
was
also
privy
to
an
online
message
from
someone
who
was
literally
trapped
in
their
office.
Building
downtown
and
trying
to
go
out
through
the
stairwell
gets
to
the
bottom.
A
Guess
what
barricaded
can't
go
out
very
serious,
but
we've
got
something
else
coming
up,
and
that
is
that
the
same
group
are
now
planning
something
on
the
fourteenth
I'll
read
from
one
of
their
organizing
emails
quote
this
coming
Friday
the
14th
beginning
at
8:00
a.m.
and
continuing
till
noon
a
whole
bunch
of
us
and
by
their
planning
document
it
looks
like
it's
close
to
500
a
whole
bunch
of
us
have
committed
to
coordinating
the
shutdown
of
as
many
BC
government
ministries
as
we
can
and
quote.
B
D
Thank
You
honorable
speaker
and
as
I
said
in
questions
from
the
leader
of
the
Opposition,
all
of
us
and
all
British
Columbians
want
those
who
have
a
different
point
of
view
to
have
the
opportunity
to
express
that
point
of
view,
but
not
at
the
expense
of
the
liberty
of
other
people.
It's
pretty
straightforward
and
that's
a
role
for
law
enforcement
and
the
courts
and
again
I
asked
the
member.
D
A
You,
mr.
speaker,
what
the
premier
is
ignoring,
though
there's
also
another
obligation,
and
it's
not
about
politicians,
interfering
in
what
police
do
or
things
like
that,
there's
also
proactive
planning
as
an
employer
right
as
an
employer.
You
of
people
you
need
to
keep
safe.
You
have
operations
that
need
to
continue.
The
protesters
themselves
have
an
extensive
planning
document.
They
identify
and
I
believe
since
its
online
I'm
sure
government
folks
must
have
possession
of
this
as
well.
They've
targeted,
20
sites,
they've
identified
them
they've
asked
participants
to
identify
where
they
will
be
involved
and
quote.
A
You,
mr.
speaker,
so
the
the
organizing
email
goes
on
to
say
quote,
feel
free
to.
Let
me
know
if
you
have
a
particular
grudge
against
any
ministry
in
particular,
so
they're
organizing.
On
that
basis,
the
reason
I'm
asking
the
question
is
not
to
ask
that
government
somehow
get
in
there
and
play
director
with
the
individual
police
operations.
It's
this.
A
You
actually
have
an
obligation
to
plan
proactively
for
how
these
workers
will
be
kept
safe,
how
ministry
operations
will
go
forward
and
that's
where
my
question
lands,
notwithstanding
the
fact
that
we
have
government
ministers
who
have
lent
their
support
to
these
protests
in
the
past,
people
who
work
there
and
people
who
rely
on
the
services
want
assurance
that
these
folks
will
not
be
allowed
to
get
close
enough
to
shut
down
government
services.
What
kind
of
plans
are
in
place
and
can
these
workers
be
assured
that
this
isn't
going
to
happen.
D
Premier,
thank
you,
I'm,
a
speaker
and
I.
Think
the
member
for
the
question,
which
is
an
appropriate
one,
appropriately
delivered
and
yes,
governess
government
is
working
on
a
plan
to
address
these
issues,
I'm,
confident
that
the
security
personnel
here
have
access
to
that
material,
but
I'm,
confident
that
if,
if
you're
prepared
to
give
us
a
copy,
we'll
ensure
that
the
appropriate
authorities
have
them
the
issue.
The
issue,
however,
is
an
appropriate
one
and
and
I
want
all
members
of
this
place
and
all
public
employees
working
for
the
province
of
British
Columbia.
D
D
It's
unlawful
activity
that
all
of
us
abour
I,
support
the
member
on
that
I
support
the
house
leader
on
that
and
I
think
that
if
we
start
talking
in
a
civilized
way
about
the
challenges
that
the
member
for
skeena
touched
upon
about,
making
sure
we
and
lift
people
out
of
poverty
by
working
together
to
try
and
make
sure
that
everyone's
on
board,
when
we
move
forward,
not
unanimity,
not
unanimity,
but
a
better
understanding
of
what
makes
everybody
tick.
That's
a
good
thing
for
government
to
do
we're
absolutely
prepared
I.
I
While
the
events
of
yesterday
were
certainly
extraordinary
here
in
DC
members
of
the
public
public
servants,
media
mla's,
even
ministers
of
the
crown
were
spit
upon,
they
were
assaulted,
they
were
in
some
cases,
did
not
physically
deny
entry
into
this
legislative
assembly,
and
we
now
know
that
there
are
specific
plans
to
expand
just
that
kind
of
behavior
elsewhere
across
the
province
by
the
same
people
that
organized
yesterday's
behavior.
We
know
that
the
police
are
investigating
protecting
the
rule
of
law,
means
enforcing
the
rule
of
law.
I
Crown
council
act
authorizes
the
Attorney
General
to
appoint
a
special
prosecutor
in
circumstances
where
members
of
the
government
in
the
past
have
professed
sympathy
and
support
for
the
people.
Advocating
this
very
position
and
advocating
these
tactics
will
the
Attorney
General
must
stand
up
and
confirm
that
a
special
prosecutor
has
been
appointed
and
if
not,
why
not?.
