WINNIPEG — First Nations in Manitoba are suing the federal government for what they say is a failure to live up to a 25\u002Dyear\u002Dold land debt agreement.
The Treaty Land Entitlement Committee of Manitoba has filed a statement of claim in Federal Court arguing Canada is liable for losses resulting from its failure to honour treaty land entitlements in a timely manner.
In the agreement, roughly 405,000 hectares were supposed to be reserved for member First Nations, but the committee says they’ve received about half that.
