The McGuinty government's Far North Act has passed in the Ontario Legislature despite the objections of First Nations and many northern communities. The Conservative's Northern Affairs Critic Randy Hillier says plenty of people have come out against the legislation; yet the McGuinty Government won't back down. Nishnawbe Aski Nation has said that if their concerns are not met they may blockade and protest in response. The law is designed to protect about half of the north's land from development.
