To the Metis Settlements General Council, do you have any comments around the fact that this is divided into province-specific Métis organizations rather than a Métis nation?

We heard from the Manitoba Métis, basically saying there is just one Métis Nation, and it has its heritage in Batoche, Seven Oaks, Louis Riel and Gabriel Dumont, in those characters from history and in the historical connection to that community.

Do you have any comments around that?
