Nault "Disgusted" by Reports of Nutritional Testing on Aboriginal Students

A former Indian Affairs minister says he was surprised as anyone to
find out that aboriginal children in residential schools were subject to
nutritional experiments.

A number of rallies were held yesterday to express their feelings about
the experiments conducted during the '40's and '50's.

Former Kenora-Rainy River M.P. Bob Nault says he never heard about any such activities while he was a cabinet minister.

Reports have suggested that some of the testing was carried out at the Cecillia Jeffrey School along with St. Mary's in Kenora.
