The vice-president of the Metis National Council is stepping up his rhetoric against three provincial Metis leaders, accusing them of striking a 'backroom deal' that allows new members into the nation he believes are not Metis.

David Chartrand, president of the Manitoba Metis Federation watches on as then Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau holds a rally in Winnipeg, Saturday, Oct. 19, 2019. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Sean KilpatrickOTTAWA -- The vice-president of the Metis National Council is stepping up his rhetoric against three provincial Metis leaders, accusing them of striking a "backroom deal" that allows new members into the nation he believes are not Metis.

He said there is a lot of concern among those living on the Prairies about the way Ontario defines its members as Metis after an announcement in 2017 that six new Metis communities had been identified in the province. But the Ontario nation has refused to allow it, citing privacy concerns. Since then, the Metis National Council has issued proclamations saying Ontario has been suspended from the national body. But the leaders of Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan say this move was illegitimate, pointing to bylaws that say a member nation can only be suspended from the national council by vote of a general assembly.

He dismissed the notion it could have an impact on his ability to represent the Metis people as a whole at the upcoming first-ministers meetings.
