Métis Nation Relationship Accord

In May 2006, the Province and the Métis Nation British Columbia signed the Métis Nation Relationship Accord (MNRA). The MNRA formalized the relationship between the Province and the Métis people of British Columbia, identifying mutual goals to close the gap in quality of life between Métis people and other British Columbians.

The MNRA identified the following objectives

Strengthen existing relationships based on mutual respect, responsibility and sharing.
Improve engagement, coordination, information sharing and collaboration.
Follow through on intentions and commitments of the First Ministers' Meeting on Aboriginal issues as they pertain to Métis people and their aspirations to close the gap in the quality of life between Métis people and other British Columbians.

A preliminary list of subjects for the Métis Nation Relationship Accord process includes:

Collaborative renewal of the Métis tripartite processes
Métis identification and data collection
Health (community, family, individual)
Housing
Education (lifelong learning)
Economic opportunities
