Statement by the Prime Minister of Canada on Louis Riel Day
(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 02/15/16 -- Prime Minister's Office
The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today issued the following statement on Louis Riel Day:
"Today, I join the Metis people, Manitobans, and Canadians across the country to commemorate Louis Riel: a champion of minority rights, a Founder of Manitoba, and a key contributor to Canadian Confederation.
"Louis Riel made important sacrifices to defend the rights, the freedoms, and the culture of the Metis people. The ideals that Louis Riel fought for - ideals of inclusiveness and equality - are now the very same values on which we base our country's identity.
"As we work to renew a nation-to-nation relationship with the Indigenous peoples of Canada, including the Metis people, let us take a moment to reflect on the life of Louis Riel, and celebrate the many contributions of Metis communities to our great country."
