NAN Raises Concern At Ring of Fire Announcement

Plenty of controversy in Wednesday's Ring of Fire announcement.

Nishnawbe-Aski Nation Grand Chief Terry Waboose approached Aboriginal Affairs Minister Kathleen Wynne following a media event in Thunder Bay.

Waboose accuses the Province and Cliffs Resources of talking behind closed doors.

Waboose is threatening to pull First Nation support from the project.

Wynne says they don't want that to happen.

Wynne says now that the business side of it has been agreed on, the next step is engaging First Nations.
