In fact, this treaty is focused on us Red River Métis, but it could help others, because it sheds some light on the situation of the Métis.
Furthermore, the very definition of a Métis person set out in the treaty could help better inform Canadians about who we are. As Mr. Leroux says, to really be Métis, it is not enough to just be able to say, for example, that your third great-grandfather was a member of a first nation.
We have been present as a people for over 200 years, with our own policies, our own society, our own culture and our language, among other things. The treaty therefore helps to affirm a reality. It may provide some clarification that might be helpful.
I cannot comment on case law, but at least it could be used to inform people.
