Métis Nation–Saskatchewan (MN–S) President Glen McCallum assigned Ministerial portfolios following the May 29, 2021, MN-S election.
Since 2016, MN–S has made significant progress in many areas including governance, housing, education and childcare. As the Cabinet of the Métis Government of Saskatchewan, the Provincial Métis Council (PMC) and its Ministers make important decisions to advance, protect and promote the rights and
interests of Métis citizens across Saskatchewan. MN–S Ministers are called upon to develop responses in increasingly complex, critical, and demanding areas while performing their duties with honesty and upholding the highest ethical standards. MN–S Ministers are responsible for developing and consulting on proposals and strategies to present to the PMC and the Métis Nation Legislative Assembly (MNLA) that will continue to strengthen our government and support our citizens and communities.
Following the portfolio assignments, President Glen McCallum stated, “Every one of the elected officials is highly qualified. We want to make sure we have the proper person in the portfolio that best exemplifies their strengths and is the best fit for our citizens. Our MN-S government fulfils the dream of our resilient ancestors.”
Today’s Ministerial appointments display MN-S’ ongoing commitment to building a strong, self-determining, accountable government for all Métis people in Saskatchewan.
