Métis Nation-Saskatchewan withdraws support for Bill C-53 due to concerns about Ontario, Alberta Métis inclusion.

Métis Nation-Saskatchewan has withdrawn support for federal self-government legislation, Bill C-53, citing concerns about the inclusion of Métis organizations in Ontario and Alberta. The bill, proposed to officially recognize and enshrine Métis self-governance, faces opposition from several First Nations groups and other Métis in Manitoba and Alberta. Métis organizations in Ontario and Alberta remain committed to pursuing self-government, despite the setback.
