Ontario First Nations reserve a hole for Federal funds
By Lindsay Briscoe

The native reserve of Attawapiskat is still in a housing crisis. Many of the James Bay area residents are still living in tents and uninsulated shacks even as winter sets in. Steven Harper is not happy about it.

He says that over 90 million dollars has been spent since coming to office on  the issue in 2006.

The audit of federal funds from last year suggests that government officials haven't been keeping tabs on the housing projects. 

The Harper government has promised 2 million dollars more to Attawapiskat. But they must come up with a solid plan for building homes and stick to it.
