New Metis Nation Sask. voting rules are unconstitutional, former presidents say
March 12, 2021
Two former presidents say Metis Nation-Saskatchewan’s new election rules are unconstitutional.
The new rules require voters to be registered members of MN-S. A legal action filed by the former presidents on Thursday seeks to quash that, arguing each Metis person should be eligible to vote regardless of membership status.
“What we have is a step backward,” former president and Metis National Council President Clement Chartier said.
“ (MN-S), if this is allowed to continue, is nothing more than a membership organization.”
That’s why he and former president Jim Durocher, who is also president of the A la Baie Metis Local of Ile a la Crosse, filed an application to Saskatoon Court of Queen’s Bench on Thursday to reverse the changes.
