MPP Wants Provincial Help For First Nations

The MPP for Kenora-Rainy River is calling on the premier to address the social conditions in First Nation communities.

Sarah Campbell says it's not right that these communities have to declare a state of emergency to get  attention from the government.

Last week, the remote community of Neskataga First Nation declared a state of emergency over a rash of suicides and ongoing problems with prescription drug abuse.
