Manitoba Métis Federation sues governments over hunting and fishing rights
By
Erik Pindera
Summary
The Manitoba Métis Federation (MMF) has filed two lawsuits against the provincial and federal governments seeking declarations that Métis citizens have harvesting rights to hunt and fish in several regions of Manitoba. The lawsuits argue that current restrictions unjustifiably infringe on Aboriginal rights protected under Section 35 of the Constitution. The federation is asking the Court of King's Bench to confirm Métis harvesting rights despite existing prohibitions in those areas.
