Liberal Indigenous caucus chair Jaime Battiste says Indigenous identity is "a social construct, and that's why there are challenges" Others want answers as to why Employment Minister Randy Boissonnault , who has claimed to be Cree , is no longer an Indigenous caucus member.

Labrador MP Yvonne Jones and Nickel Belt MP Marc Serre have also had their Indigenous ancestry questioned.

Serre was removed from the Algonquin of Ontario registry earlier this year .

The government is likely to lose its only Indigenous cabinet minister, Dan Vandal .

Metis Northern Affairs Minister Vandal announced in October he was not seeking re-election.

Vandal is not running again, but Indigenous Peoples should not have a seat at cabinet, says Battiste .

Battiste says cabinet needs to be representative of the country.
