Under the agreement signed in February of this year with MNO, MNA and MN-S, it is explicit that while it is the right of a Métis individual to choose their government—as long as they meet the eligibility criteria and so on and so forth, they're able to choose which government represents them—there's a requirement that there be no dual citizenship. Those individuals need to choose one government. They're not able to choose both the MNA and Cadotte, as an example.
However, the one exception is the Métis settlements. There's a provision in the MNA agreement signed in February of this year that provides for dual citizenship to the Métis settlements and the MNA. The reason is that this is the status quo today. It was part of the decision of the government to maintain that status quo and to do so explicitly.
I can't recall whether or not it was raised directly by President Lamouche as part of the testimony, but I want to be clear: We do understand that the Métis settlements have raised some concerns about that approach. For that reason, it'll be something we need to revisit in the text as part of finalizing a treaty.
Again, we have a constitutional obligation to ensure we're not adversely impacting the rights of other governments that are not signatories to those future self-government treaties.
