Rickford Supports Third Party Management in Attawapiskat

A Federal Government move to impose third party management in Attawapiskat First Nation is being supported by Kenora MP Greg Rickford.

The Parliamentary Assistant for Aboriginal Affairs says the move will help them determine the immediate housing needs.

However, Rickford stresses they have already taken action.

Rickford adds the Government also gave the remote First Nation money to build a new subdivision and notes the third party manager will look into why that project hasn't moved forward.
