Ontario Court Clears Manitoba Métis Federation President of Financial MisconductIn a significant ruling, an Ontario Superior Court has exonerated Manitoba Métis Federation president, David Chartrand, of financial misconduct. The court found no evidence of wrongdoing in a series of financial transactions between 2019 and 2021, involving Chartrand and former Métis National Council president, Clément Chartier. The Métis National Council, which initiated the lawsuit, had alleged a conspiracy to harm the council through secret, unauthorized transactions. However, the court found these claims untrue, stating that both Chartrand and Chartier acted honestly and in the best interests of the Métis National Council and the broader Métis Nation. The Métis National Council expressed disappointment with the outcome, suggesting broader implications for governance within Métis organizations.
