Key Points:
- Ottawa, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - June 27, 2023) - The Congress of Aboriginal Peoples has lost faith in Crown Indigenous Relations Minister Marc Miller after years of ignoring and excluding hundreds of thousands of off-Reserve, non-status, Metis and Southern Labrador Inuit Indigenous people.
- In recent months, Marc Miller has decided to exclude CAP and urban Indigenous voices from the proposed National Reconciliation Council and Canada's UNDRIP (United Nations Declaration on the Right's of Indigenous Peoples) Action Plan.
- And furthermore, on National Indigenous Peoples Day when unveiling the action plan and intentionally excluding CAP, Minister Miller decided to credit another National Indigenous Organization for the historic CAP/Daniels Case that affirmed the rights of off-Reserve Indigenous Peoples and the federal government's responsibility.
- CAP is profoundly disappointed with, and concerned about Canada's current Crown Indigenous Relations Minister, and hopes the government will recognize its missteps and faults in recognizing our People.
