  1. The NRTA and the Saskatchewan First Act have the FSIN in the province threatening legal action.

    The time for action against both Acts is now, say chiefs.

    There was no consultation of the NRTA when the legislation put control of natural resources into the hands of the western provinces in 1930, and there was no consultation when the Sask. First Act asserted exclusive jurisdiction over resources in 2022.

  2. The Métis Nation-Saskatchewan and Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations are both threatening legal action now that the province has passed the Saskatchewan First Act.

    Both the FSIN and MN-S called the government out for lack of consultation both before the bill was drafted and as the bill worked its way through the legislature.
