| Scope and content | This file contains a presentation by Claude Aubin, Metis, Lower St. Lawrence; Rock Matte, Malecite Metis, Lower St. Lawrence; Andy Frost, Metis, Fort Coulonge; Elizabeth Lamadeleine, Metis, Quyon; Cecile Jean Legros, Metis, Ste-Veronique; Sylvie Plouffe, Metis, Mont-Laurier; Rejean Pilote, Metis, Lac St-Jean; Marie Joseph-Riel, representing the Riel family of la Valtrie; Martine Brisebois, Metis, Mont-Laurier and Bruno Meilleur, Metis, Ile du Grand Calumet. The presenters are speaking as Metis individuals and not as part of a Metis group or organization. They believe that "all Metis in Canada have certain rights and the Canadian people and the other Aboriginal nations must respect the obligations they have toward the citizens of the Metis nation, just like their own rights in the Province of Quebec or elsewhere in Canada." The Metis Nation wishes to "establish their own government in order to acquire the mechanisms necessary for direct action in the political sphere that are worthy of a distinct nation." A lengthy question-and-answer session with the Commissioners follows the presentation. | |
