Gary Lipinski, MNO President said, “I want to congratulate Audrey and all of the candidates in the Métis Nation of Alberta’s recent election. Our democratic processes across the Métis Nation Homeland are at the heart of the legitimacy, vitality and strength of our governments. Everyone who participates in these processes – whether it be by voting or putting their name forward as a candidate – should be thanked for their contribution to strengthening Métis self-government.”

“On behalf of the entire Provisional Council of the Métis Nation of Ontario, we look forward to working collaboratively with President Poitras and the MNA’s new Provincial Council to advance the Métis Nation’s agenda.
