Take a look at the Suzuki article posted on the KWG board and read the article below.
You'll see the common name of Neskantaga First Nation. Folks we're talking about a population of 421 people ...that's right ..holding this back.
The feds need to cut their funds as they stated they would AND these thugs need to be backcharged for the very high cost of remote training and high cost equipment that AECON provided for ROF training. Shame on them.

Chief Wallace Fox from the Onion Lake Cree Nation, which appears on the list, announced on Wednesday his band is taking the government to court over the new law.
The bulk of those which have not complied — 37 First Nations — are in the western provinces of British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Twelve are in Ontario, three in Alberta, and one each in Quebec, Yukon, and the Northwest Territories.
A statement on the Aboriginal Affairs website Thursday said 529 out of 582 First Nations have met the new requirements, leaving 53 that are in not compliance.
But an accompanying list of non-compliant bands named 55.
The web page is not currently available.
Aboriginal Affairs Minister Bernard Valcourt has publicly said First Nations that don't follow the law could be subject to "court orders, withholding of non-essential funding and withholding of new funding."
The 55 First Nations are:
Quebec
Ontario
Manitoba
Saskatchewan
Alberta
British Columbia
Yukon
Northwest Territories
