Passage of Far North Act Delayed

The contraversial Far North Act still hasn't been passed into law.

Bill 191 was supposed to be up for third and final reading Thursday afternoon
at Queen's Park.

Kenora-Rainy River M.P. Howard Hampton says the vote never took place because there were just too many people demonstrating against the legislation.

Hampton believes the premier will try to ram the bill through this fall.

Hampton suggests the premier will try to bring the bill back for final passage
just before the Thanksgiving long weekend, when there will be less attention
on Queen's Park.
