Aboriginal Affairs Working Group

An aboriginal affairs working group has come out with a set of recommendations for Canada's Prime Minister and Provincial Premiers.

The group made up of first nations leaders and ministers of aboriginal affairs has come up with plans to close the graduation and income gap between first nations and non aboriginals.

Ontario's Aboriginal Affairs Minister Chris Bentley says Northern Ontario will see some benefits.

The working group also pledged to end violence against Aboriginal women and girls.
