| Scope and content | This file consists of a presentation by seven members of the Southern Ontario Metis and Non Status Indian Association: Tony Belcourt, Audrey Mayes, Kim Coyle, Dave Jacobs, Paul Day, Trevor Minnie and Christi Belcourt. Their presentation discusses the "inequality being subjected on the majority of Aboriginal people in Canada, the Metis and off-reserve Indian population." The presentation focuses on the Indian Act and other government policies. The presenters offer numerous recommendations, including equitable treatment by the federal government to all Aboriginal people as it has the constitutional obligation to do so; and recognition by the Ontario government of the Southern Ontario Metis and Non Status Indian Association as a legitimate representative assembly of Metis and off-reserve Aboriginals. A question-and-answer session with the Commissioners follows the presentation. | |
