Thank you for the question.
There have been many. What I can say is that we know that the citizenship registries of each of our Métis governments, like I have said, are objectively verifiable. They have been audited by third parties. Each of our Métis governments applies that 2002 definition of a Métis citizen that was passed by the Métis National Council.
If I may, I'll read something that Métis lawyer Jean Teillet wrote recently for a report for the University of Saskatchewan, which emphasizes the strength of our Métis government registries. She wrote:
The Métis Nation has five regional/provincial members—Métis Nation-BC; Métis Nation of Alberta; Métis Nation-Saskatchewan, the Manitoba Metis Federation, and Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO). Each of these provincial organizations have a reliable registry that the University of Saskatchewan can utilize. Because these registries require objective evidence for citizenship to be granted, cards that are up to date and issued by them can be accepted with no further quest for information.
That was written by Métis lawyer Jean Teillet for the University of Saskatchewan. That we're all working to fight identity fraud in these institutions, individuals taking opportunities from Métis people, again, speaks volumes to the strength of our Métis registries.
