Coroner To Hear Requests For Standing

An inquest into the deaths of seven Aboriginal youths in Thunder Bay takes a major step forward today.   Coroner Dr. Michael Wilson is holding a hearing to listen to those people who believe they have a right to take part in the process. Wilson says not everyone who asks can be granted standing.  He says that privilege will go to anyone with a direct interest in the outcome. The hearing begins at 10 am at the Ontario Government building on Red River Road.
