If Ottawa gives the O-K, Ontario says it is prepared to take a larger role in Attawapiskat -- the northern aboriginal community that's being plagued by toxic fumes.

Community Safety Minister Rick Bartolucci says if community leaders ask the feds for help, it's possible Ottawa could ask Ontario to do more. The fuel fumes -- leaking into homes and the elementary school -- stem from an underground leak that took place 30 years ago.
