OEB Hears Metis Concerns

The Ontario Energy Board is being asked to consider Metis rights in the process of developing a new powerline from Thunder Bay to Wawa.   At the board's Thunder Bay hearing Thursday,  Metis Nation of Ontario President Gary Lipinski  demanded fair consultation because the so called east-west tie line would run across some of their land.  Metis rights lawyer Jason Madden said it's essential the consultation plan include Metis rights and those of others.  The board hearings continue today at the Valhalla.
