MOU on Advancing Reconciliation

May 27, 2016

Sets out a mutually agreeable path forward on finding a shared solution on implementing the Manitoba Métis Federation (MMF) Decision (2013 Manitoba Metis Federation et al. v. Canada decision of the Supreme Court of Canada (SCC). The SCC decision is about undue delay in providing the land grants promised to the Métis in s. 31 of the Manitoba Act, 1870. That delay was found to be inconsistent with the honour of the Crown. As a first step, the parties will work together to develop a framework agreement that sets out a process for negotiating a shared solution in the future. The goal is to develop this mutually acceptable framework agreement over the coming months.
