How are we opposed to the MNA? We're saying we're opposed to the legislation, the way it's currently written, because there is a lack of clarity on who represents whom.
The MNA agreement and the MNA constitution talk about having exclusive jurisdiction over the Métis people and communities within Alberta. When the language in the agreement and constitution talks like that, it includes all Métis communities and settlements. We're saying, “No, that's not right. We're different. We have our own history. We have our own legislation. We're our own government. The MNA doesn't represent us.”
