This quote:

Now, the Cowichan Tribes have publicly stated that private owners cannot sell their properties without Cowichan consent,[15] and lenders are refusing to renew mortgages because the collateral is now legally defective.

With this foot note:

[15] https://www.conservative.ca/canada-must-defend-property-rights/

“The lead lawyer for the Cowichan Tribes has already stated that private land sales would need the consent of the Cowichan before they could go ahead.

I could only find this in writing.

Vancouver Sun article

He meant if owners of those lands attempted to sell to anyone else. The transaction would need the consent of the Cowichan before it could go ahead, Rosenberg told CKNW host Jas Johal recently.

“I fully anticipate that the seller or vendor will get what they are bargaining for, and the purchaser would also get what they are bargaining for,” said Rosenberg.

“But it would be with the consent of the Cowichan Nation and it would be with some accommodation from the Crown (government) to the Cowichan Nation.”

That is a big change already. No wonder Sharma has been expediting work on the appeal.

I then found this clip for the interview and I'm going have to say getting information from the Conservative.ca is already questionable but the way the author framed it is even worse.

Here's the clip for people who want to hear the entire context of it.

2m21s length.
