Whereas other Aboriginal Peoples of Canada, Indian and Inuit, are recognized as a legislative responsibility and fiduciary obligation of the Federal Government of Canada; and 

Whereas Most current research on the subject, including that contracted by the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples, strongly suggests that the Supreme Court of Canada, if asked, would include Métis in Section 91(24); and 

Whereas; 

The Native Council of Canada successfully negotiated an all-government agreement in the Charlottetown constitutional reform process that the constitution would be amended (for greater clarity) to affirm that all Aboriginal people are included in Section 91(24). 

Therefore Be It Resolved: 

That the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples be called upon to include in their final report to Parliament a recommendation that the Constitution be amended as per the Charlottetown agreement to affirm that all Aboriginal Peoples are included in Section 91(24): 

and be it further resolved that 

if constitutional amendment prove impractical, that RCAP be called upon to recommend that the federal government formally affirm in the Parliament that Métis, like Indians and Inuit are included in Section 91(24); and 

Be it further resolved: 

That failing Federal unilateral declaration, a reference be made to the Supreme Court of Canada to include Métis in section 91(24).
