A Métis Nation flag flies in Ottawa on Jan. 31, 2023. The fractured Métis National Council delayed its presidential election for the second time in about a month on Thursday, after the council's British Columbia affiliate walked out and refused to take part in the vote.
"The discussion did not go in the direction that we felt was necessary for MNBC to be sitting at that table," he said. Former Métis National Council President Cassidy Caron speaks during a news conference on Parliament Hill in May, where she announced she will not seek re-election. The Manitoba Métis Federation withdrew in 2021, citing an ongoing controversy over the disputed identity of six asserted Métis communities in Ontario. With Saskatchewan gone, the only remaining founding member is Alberta.
"There's reform processes that are in place and our governing members are talking between and amongst themselves to sort out when and how … to move forward as the national voice for the Métis Nation," said Caron.
