Your Letter *

I am writing you today as a constituent of your riding to express my support for Bill C-53, the Métis Self-Government Implementation legislation.

I believe reconciliation with all Indigenous peoples in Canada is important. This legislation was co-developed with Métis governments to end generations of denial of Métis rights. It is truly reconciliation in action and should be unequivocally supported.

This legislation will ensure Canada works with the Métis on a nation-to-nation, government-to-government basis. That is the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (“UNDRIP”) in action and embodies Canada’s commitments to Indigenous Peoples’.

This legislation is all about Métis self-government, including Métis citizenship, Métis elections, Métis governance operations, and Métis child and family services. It does not deal with land, harvesting or land-related rights. It will not have any impact on other Indigenous peoples or communities.

The Métis Nation of Alberta, the Métis Nation – Saskatchewan, and the Métis Nation of Ontario are seeking the support of all Parliamentarians to pass Bill C-53 as soon as possible.

The Métis have been waiting for over two centuries to finally be recognized in this way and they have waited more than 40 years for Canada to fulfill their commitment to meaningfully implement Section 35 of the Canadian Constitution. As your constituent, I urge you to support the swift passage Bill C-53.

Sincerely,
[your name will go here]
