Attawapiskat Update

Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence and Aboriginal Affairs Minister John Duncan are to meet today in Thunder Bay.

Spence and Duncan are making another attempt to find a lasting solution for the housing crisis on the James Bay reserve.

Duncan has announced a third-party manager, in addition to an audit and emergency aid for Attawapiskat.

Spence says she welcomes the aid and will work with the auditors but is opposed to the third-party management.
