... “Recent court decisions (Powley) have been very
favourable to the Métis cause and have recognized our
rights. Judges have gone so far as to state that these issues
would be better dealt with through negotiations rather than
litigation. The MNO has made repeated requests for a negotiating
table and have continually been refused and/or ignored. To
the contrary the Ontario Government has again appealed the
most recent decision to the Ontario Court of Appeal. It is
expected to be heard in early fall.” |
