My main focus as Region Director and Minister for Children and Family for the last 8 years, has been that I fully believe that families represent the hub of a Red River Cart. Every spoke that stems from the hub voice areas of concern for Metis people i.e. Section 35 Rights, Health, Education, Employment, Economic Development, Early Learning, Childcare etc. Until we solidify our inherent rights in the Province of BC we will not get the recognition and respect we deserve. I will continue as I always have to ensure we get our voices heard.
