Yvon Dumont's trial begins April 24, 2006!

Tansi/Good Day Readers:

Earlier today Madam Justice J. Keyser, Manitoba Court of Queen's Bench, ruled opening arguments will be heard starting at 10:00 a.m. Monday. The trial is expected to last 4-5 days. Her Honour ruled the Defence can amend their statement of Defence during the proceedings.

Messrs. Anders Bruun (abruun@campbellmarr.com) and Jeffrey J. Niederhoffer (jniederhoffer@campbellmarr.com) from Campbell Marr LLP (www.campbellmarr.com) will be representing Mr. Dumont. Counselor Murray N. Trachtenberg (mtrachtenberg@ptlaw.mb.ca) will be acting for the Plaintiffs (Metis National Council Secretariat Inc., and Clement Chartier on behalf of The Metis National Council and The Metis National Council). I will be in Court each day to bring you the highlights.

There were fascinating, if not startling, relevations made in open Court today on which I'll be reporting shortly.

Sincerely,
Clare L. Pieuk
