MP Johns criticizes government for impeding Huu-ay-aht First Nation compensation

February 3, 2017 - NDP MP Gord Johns (Courtenay-Alberni) urges the Minister of Indigenous Affairs to call of the government lawyers and commit to paying out the $13.8 million awarded to the Huu-ay-aht First Nation by the Specific Claims Tribunal. The Liberal government has halted the award and applied for a judicial review of the decision to compensate the Huu-ay-aht First Nation over the federal government's mismanagement of logging contracts.
