MNO Applauds Court Ruling


A new opportunity for Metis people to get access to health care.

That's one of the potential benefits of a federal court ruling this week according to the president of the Metis Nation of Ontario.

Gary Lipinsky says many Metis risk their lives because they can't afford proper medications.

Lipinsky says the ruling puts the Metis population under federal jurisdiction and that opens up new channels of funding for health care.
