MN-S to go under third-party management

Métis Nation-Saskatchewan may soon get its funding back. The MN-S provincial Métis council has agreed to a third-party funding proposal by the federal government. The new agreement comes one month after Indigenous Affairs Minister Carolyn Bennett said the Liberal government would reinstate the funding. Under the terms of the agreement, the third party, which has yet to be named, would be responsible for the administration and finances of the organization until the next election. Funding was initially cut off in 2014 by the federal Conservative government due to in-fighting in the MN-S.
