This milestone coincides with other significant anniversaries, including 30 years since the report issued by the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples and more than a decade since the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Together, these moments reflect longstanding commitments to reset the relationship between Canada and the Métis Nation. Commitments that remain only partially fulfilled. “Ten years ago, the Daniels decision provided long-overdue legal clarity that the federal government has constitutional jurisdiction in relation to the Métis Nation, and the corresponding responsibility to engage in good faith on programs, services, and self-government,” says President Victoria Pruden. “But clarity alone is not enough. A decade later, that responsibility has yet to be meaningfully realized in the lives of Métis citizens. The promise of a transformed relationship remains largely unfulfilled.”
