We've always maintained that we believe Métis people in Canada.... We acknowledge their history and the fact that they have rights in their territories. We are saying that. However, we are also saying that they weren't in our territory. That is, we can't speak on behalf of the Manitoba nations. It's for them to speak about that.
What we're saying is that we recognize that Métis in Canada have rights and have a rich history in this country. It just didn't happen in our territories.
