In plain language
- This proposal asks the federal government to fully and swiftly implement past commitments made to métis people from the colonial era. It calls for a clear timeline, a detailed progress report, and a single federal contact point.
- This mainly affects mixed-race individuals born during Belgian colonial rule in Congo, Rwanda, and Burundi, as well as their descendants.
- If you are affected, you will receive better administrative, legal, and psychological support to trace your family origins or resolve civil status records, and an official memorial will be created.
