Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is assembling a new caucus task force to examine what he calls a growing threat to private property rights, following a landmark British Columbia court decision and a controversial federal agreement with a First Nation in Metro Vancouver.

In a letter released Thursday, Poilievre appointed Tako van Popta, Conservative MP for Langley Township—Fraser Heights, to chair the newly formed Conservative Task Force on Property Rights.
