New Democrat Howard Hampton says it's time the government moved ahead with an inquest into the deaths of aboriginal teens attending high school in Thunder Bay. Hampton made the call today after Jordan Wabasse' body was identified after being found in the Kam River this week. Hampton says while we wait for the inquest, teens keep dying. The inquiry has been delayed in part because of a lack of native representation on the jury, an issue Attorney General Chris Bentley says is being worked out.
