Attawapiskat

Aboriginal Affairs Minister John Duncan says a third-party manager is in the troubled northern Ontario native
community of Attawapiskat. In Parliament during Question Period, he says that manager is working to address the residents' urgent health and safety needs, but hinted at a lack of co-operation.

Duncan's spokeswoman says the minister is trying to arrange a meeting today in Ottawa with band Chief Theresa Spence.
