Jointly developed Framework Agreement sets out a process to begin formal reconciliation negotiations to address the outstanding issues raised in the 2013 Manitoba Métis Federation Inc. v. Canada decision of the Supreme Court of Canada that will lead to a modern-day treaty with Canada. “This is a monumental and historic time for Manitoba’s Métis. After more than 140 years, three decades of court battles and numerous consultations with our Métis Citizens, I am honoured and humbled to present to Louis Riel – at a gravesite ceremony celebrating the 131st anniversary of the judicial murder of Métis Visionary and Leader – and the Manitoba Métis, this signed Framework Agreement that will start the formal negotiations leading to the reconciliation of our constitutional grievance and the renewal of the solemn promise,” said President Chartrand.
