What are the Metis National Council and its Governing Members doing following the release of the Powley decision?
Prior to the release of the Supreme Court’s decision inPowley, the Metis National Council, on behalf of its Governing Members, had written to Canada requesting that a multilateral meeting involving the Metis Nation, Canada and provincial governments from Ontario westward be convened to discuss Metis harvesting and access to resources related issues. Further, the Metis National Council has made a request to the Federal Interlocutor for Metis to provide immediate resources in order to engage in a series of post-Powleytransition initiatives (i.e. consultations with the Metis community, identification of Metis, development of Metis regulatory regimes, etc.). To date, the Federal Interlocutor has not formally responded on behalf of Canada. However, please check the Metis National Council’s website regularly at www.metisnation.ca for updates. As well, please contact your respective Governing Member for additional information specific to your province.
