The Otipemisiwak Métis Government extends its congratulations to the Honourable Rebecca Alty on her appointment as Minister of Crown–Indigenous Relations. Our government looks forward to working with Minister Alty to advance the rights and interests of Métis Citizens in Alberta.
With Minister Alty at the helm of Crown–Indigenous Relations, the Otipemisiwak Métis Government remains committed to the full implementation of our Self-Government Agreement and negotiating a modern-day treaty that is grounded in recognition, respect, and a true nation-to-nation relationship with Canada.
The Otipemisiwak Métis Government also congratulates the Honourable Mandy Gull-Masty who is the first Indigenous person to lead as Minister of Indigenous Services.
With the advent of these cabinet additions, our government will continue to ensure the voices and rights of Métis Citizens are respected and upheld in all federal policies, legislation, and funding decisions that impact our Nation.
“A new government with a new cabinet brings renewed opportunity to advance the rights and interests of Métis Citizens in Alberta,” said President Andrea Sandmaier. “The Otipemisiwak Métis Government is eager to engage and collaborate with Minister Alty, Minister Gull-Masty, Prime Minister Carney, and the rest of Cabinet to strengthen a government-to-government relationship that will support Métis Citizens on our journey towards greater self-determination and self-government.”
