Has the Government of Canadas responded to the Powley decision?
Since the Powley decision, Government of Canada officials have held discussions with provincial, territorial and Métis representatives to establish an effective way to accommodate Métis harvesters in a safe, orderly and responsible manner. Before any new policy or initiative can be introduced, however, a series of complex issues must be resolved. At present, for instance, there is no single, reliable and consistent method in place to identify Métis harvesters across the country.
