NAN wants far north act scrapped

Nishinawbe Aski Nation communities could put up blockades and protest in the far north.  Grand Chief Stan Beardy says that's what will happen if the McGuinty Government pushes the Far North Act through.  Beardy says they do not like the proposed legislation and want the Liberal government to scrap it altogether.  NAN communities are concerned about how the act lays out jurisdiction of land.
