Petitions calling for the removal of Wikki/Calcuni toshao Ezard Fredericks were not in accordance with the relevant laws, according to Minister of Amerindian Affairs Minister Pauline Sukhai.
More than 80 residents petitioned for the removal of Fredericks as they alleged that multiple breaches of the Amerindian Act had been committed.
A petition was submitted earlier in the year while a second was sent on March 4, 2022. In the last petition, the group of residents requested Fredericks’ removal citing sections 25(1), and 27(1) of the Amerindian Act, among other things.
