Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
3rd Session
42nd Parliament
A
Member
for
saanich
northand
islands.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I
rise
today
in
celebration
of
an
economic
development
venture
between
my
relatives,
sayo
and
cascadia
seaweed
november
2019.
I
was
proud
to
stand
in
this
assembly
as
part
of
the
unanimous
support
and
the
passing
on
the
declaration
and
the
rights
of
indigenous
peoples
act.
A
In
february
of
1852,
my
satanic
ancestors
entered
into
an
agreement
with
james
douglas,
the
first
governor
of
the
colony
of
british
columbia,
fast
forward
to
1989,
and
the
bc
court
of
appeal
ruled
in
favor
of
the
sayo
in
the
sanderson
bay
marina
case.
The
court
decision
was
critical
in
defining
our
right
to
fish
as
formally
including
our
right
to
catch
fish
and
the
right
to
the
places
that
we
fish.
A
The
satanic
right
to
fish
is
unqualified,
protects
us
against
infringement
of
our
right
to
carry
on
our
fisheries
as
formerly
and
includes
the
right
to
travel
to
and
from
our
fishery.
Finally,
mr
speaker,
the
court
found
that
generally,
the
rules
when
applied
to
the
treaty
should
be
given
fair,
large
and
liberal
construction
in
favor
of
the
satanic.
