| Scope and content | This file contains a presentation by Mario Paradis and Rene Boileau whose organization "brings together Metis and non-status Indians of Quebec, to have their status concretely recognized; to study, promote, protect and develop the material, cultural, social, economic and political interests of its members in every way possible; and to maintain a permanent secretariat in order to develop links among the members. The speakers also address the difficulty of determining the origin of the Canadian Metis. They offer a number of recommendations, including that Metis status be recognized and delineated by a constitutional definition concerning Metis throughout Canada and not only the Metis on the Prairies and in the provinces that so choose, and that the rights that may flow from such status attach to each Indian and Metis individual or to an Aboriginal people, but not to specific lands. A lengthy question-and-answer session with the Commissioners follows the presentation. | |
