Reaction to Far North Act

The Far North Act isn’t going to improve relations between the Provincial Government and local First Nations.
That’s the feeling of Kenora-Rainy River MPP Howard Hampton.
He say the Legislation, which has been passed, really undermines the rights of aboriginal communities in the Far North.
Hampton says the Act basically takes away the right of First Nation communities to determine where mining or forest activities should take place.
The Nishnawbe-Aski Nation says there could be protests over the Far North Act similar to the HST protest earlier this year.
