I’d like to introduce and welcome the chiefs and councillors from the Wabun Tribal Council: Jason Batise, executive director from Wabun Tribal Council; Melanie Boucher, Ogimaa from Matachewan First Nation; Jennifer Constant, Ogimaa from Mattagami First Nation; Murray Ray, Ogimaa from Flying Post First Nation; Kevin Tangie, councillor from Brunswick House First Nation; and Anita Stephens, Ogimaa from Chapleau Ojibwe First Nation. I look forward to having discussions with them on their energy and economic opportunities later this afternoon. Welcome to the Legislature.

Back to the Premier: Members of the Wabun Tribal Council are here. They also have raised concerns about Métis recognition in their territory. Decisions made by Ontario that create recognition will have current and future impacts on legitimate rights-holders for many generations.

Can this government speak on how Ontario concluded that there is a distinct Métis community in the Abitibi Inland on First Nations territory?
