Absolutely, without a doubt. We've been advocating for that since the minister dropped this bill, along with the Assembly of First Nations of Quebec and Labrador, the Chiefs of Ontario and others, who have clearly recognized that the Métis Nation of Ontario's legitimacy and claim to fame come from using our ancestors as ways and means to justify its existence when in fact it's far removed from our communities. Again, granting it recognition through Bill C-53 would be a travesty and an important injustice for indigenous people across the country and, more importantly, directly for the Algonquin nation, whose title and lands are being claimed by these fake Indians.
