The government is being required to make changes to an agreement with the Métis Nation of Alberta.
OTTAWA—A Federal Court ruling says Ottawa must make changes to a self-government agreement it signed with the Métis Nation of Alberta (MNA).
The ruling, released March 28, says the deal is too broad in its definition of who it covers and it was made without consulting the Fort McKay Métis Nation and the Métis Settlements of Alberta.
Fort McKay and the Métis Settlements are the two landholders in the province.
"The only practical remedy is to quash the offending provisions of the agreement and to remit the matter to the minister for reconsideration," wrote Judge Sébastien Grammond.
