Joint Action Plan on Advancing Reconciliation

September 24, 2018

The Manitoba Métis Federation (MMF) and the Government of Canada – have agreed to a three-part plan for moving forward together to advance reconciliation with the Manitoba Métis Community. In order to support this plan, Canada will provide $154.3 million to the MMF as the parties continue to work to advance reconciliation:
The Manitoba Metis Federation will use a portion of this funding to invest in areas it has identified to improve the social and economic well-being of the Manitoba Métis Community. This funding will form part of the reconciliation package that the parties are jointly working toward.

The parties will work towards reaching a self-government agreement in a timely manner that recognizes the Manitoba Metis Federation’s legal status, role and jurisdiction as a Métis government and implements the Manitoba Métis Community’s vision of greater self-determination.

The funding will support the Manitoba Metis Federation’s transition from its current corporate structure to a self-governing Métis government.
