Peter Collins is looking for clarification of federal spending commitments
FORT WILLIAM FIRST NATION, ON — The chief of the Fort William First Nation says the new federal budget contains some positive signs for his community and for reconciliation with Canada, but much more remains to be done, especially for younger adults and children.
Peter Collins plans to bring that up Friday with the Prime Minister when Justin Trudeau visits Thunder Bay.
In an interview Wednesday, Collins said one of the first things that stood out for him as he reviewed the budget was the commitment to invest $1.2 billion over three years to improve services for First Nations children.
