CEO Chartrand Authorized To Take Legal Action.....With MMF Member Funds Of Course

WINNIPEG – The Manitoba Metis Federation, in a specially-called Board of Directors Meeting and with a unanimously-passed resolution, affirmed its continued recognition of President Clément Chartier as the legitimate and sitting President of the Metis National Council.

Protecting the Manitoba Metis Federation’s rights and interests as a Founding Member of the Metis National Council, the unanimous resolution instructed and authorized Manitoba Metis Federation President and CEO David Chartrand to retain legal counsel and to take all actions necessary.

Chartrand will defend the integrity of the Metis National Council’s Constitution, reputation, and financial resources, as well as the democratic process of the Metis Nation.“The Manitoba Metis Federation, without any doubt, fully and completely continues our support for President Chartier,” said CEO Chartrand.

“In purportedly appointing one of their own, the Board of Governors has unlawfully attempted to override our Constitution. Only the Metis National Assembly made up of representatives of the Metis Nation has the authority to democratically remove and elect the President.”

“They have attempted to steal the democratic rights away from the Metis Nation and install one of their own. This attempt to remove President Chartier is illegal, shameless, and wrong,” Chartrand went on to say.

Question: From exactly where in the federally-provincially funded MMF budget will the monies be taken to pay the lawyer? Maybe the Canadian Taxpayers' Federation should be looking at this.
