First Nations Working Group Plan

Provincial and territorial ministers of aboriginal affairs are moving forward on a plan to deal with some of the challenges facing first nations people.

Ontario's Aboriginal Affairs Minister Chris Bentley says they hope to close the graduation and income gap.

"We're going to add to our areas of general agreement over the next 90 days with some concrete steps that can be taken immediately to improve lives," says Bentley. "We're going to present our advice to the Premiers at the beginning of August and they can decide what they want to do with it."

The group is also calling for a First Ministers meeting on Aboriginal Issues.
