Lawsuit Dismissed

A lawsuit against former Indian Affairs Minister Bob Nault has been dismissed by an Ontario Court Judge.
The Pikangikum First Nation brought the suit forward after a third party manager was imposed on the community back on 2001.
Justice John Wright says Nault didn’t actually ask for a third party manager, instead he had lobbied his own department to discuss a co-management sitution.
The band argued that the imposition of a third party manager held up millions of dollars worth of projects on Pikangikum, but Justice Wright dismissed the bands claims.
He says despite Naults opposition to a third party manager, the decision to impose one was appropriate.
