Canada and Ontario responded each with a separate “Statement of Defence” and “Cross Claim”. These documents were updated in 2023. At the same time the MCFN entered the proceedings as intervenors issuing a “Statement of Defence”. The Six Nations of the Grand River responded to the Crowns and the MCFN in a “Reply”.
