| One of the
primary responsibilities of CAP is to represent the national issues of its
constituency by lobbying the federal government and its many departments
on behalf of its provincial affiliates and constituents.. This activity
includes meetings with the Prime Minister, various Ministers of State, and
senior beaurocrats to ensure Metis and off-reserve Aboriginal peoples are
included in federal initiatives relaled to Aboriginal peoples in Canada.
One of the results of this activity is the Political
Accord presented at this link, which is designed to
operate as a kind of framework for federal/CAP interaction. |
