Metis Nation Of Alberta Appeals Court Decision Regarding Provincial Consultation Policy – ANN
March 14, 2022
(ANNews) – The Metis Nation of Alberta (MNA) has appealed a recent court decision regarding the Alberta government’s termination of negotiations with the organization over the creation of a provincial consultation policy.
The MNA argue that they have been in an agreement with the two previous Alberta government’s to create a consultation policy, but shortly after coming into power in 2019 Indigenous-relations Minister Rick Wilson ceased negotiations without cause.
The policy being drafted would have created a framework for the government on how to consult with the Metis Nation on matters such as provincial resource development.
