Thank you for the question.
The quick and easy answer is absolutely. Throughout the entirety of the process to reach this draft of the bill, we sent multiple letters to the federal government opposing and requesting consultation in relation to what this bill could look like. Throughout the entirety of that process, up until February of this year, that was the only time that the federal government actually reached out to have a discussion, after they had signed the agreement.
I guess the shortest way I can answer is that, throughout the entirety of drafting the bill and the discussion throughout it, there was zero consultation with my community or the other seven Métis communities of the Alberta Métis Federation.
