It's turning into one long night for MPs on Parliament Hill. They're voting on 471 Reform party amendments to a bill on the Nisga'a land claim treaty in British Columbia.
Reform is the only party opposed to the treaty.
The filibuster is a last ditch attempt to delay passage of the legislation. Government House Leader Don Boudria says the move is costing Canadians a lot of money. B.C. But Deputy Prime Minister Herb Gray says there will be no changes and no referendum. The Liberals have insisted they would never subject minority rights to a majority vote in a referendum. Public opinion polls also show most people in the province would vote against the treaty given the chance.
