A northwestern Ontario MPP is criticizing the Liberal government for a lack of action over the disappearance and deaths of seven First Nations high school students in Thunder Bay.
Kenora-Rainy River MPP Howard Hampton says inquests into some deaths continue to be delayed.
"These are seven young citizens of Ontario," says Hampton. "These are seven teenagers. I suggest to the minister and to this government that if seven teenage high school students disappeared from London, there would be a different reaction. If seven teenage high school students disappeared from Hamilton, there would be a different reaction."
Hampton is pushing for increased attention to the conditions of First Nations youth living off-reserve.
