Premier Dalton McGuinty isn't prepared to declare a state of emergency in Attawapiskat despite complaints that noxious fumes are sickening residents in the remote aboriginal community.
Residents say they have been suffering from headaches, nausea and other ailments since an elementary school - which sat atop the remains of an underground diesel leak - was torn down in March.
McGuinty says it's up to the federal government to take the lead in Attawapiskat because it's their responsibility.
