Declaration of health emergency by First Nations communities in northern Ontario / Andy Fillmore, chair.: XC35-1/1-421-3E-PDF

"On 24 February 2016, Grand Chief of the Nishnawbe Aski Nation (NAN), Alvin Fiddler, along with representatives of the Sioux Lookout Area Chiefs Committee on Health, declared that "the remote First Nation communities in northern Ontario and the broader NAN Territory are in a state of Health and Public Health Emergency." Following this declaration, members of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Indigenous and Northern Affairs (the Committee), adopted a motion to examine "the state of the health emergency declared in communities of the Nishnawbe Aski Nation and the Mushkegowuk Council regions." On 14 April 2016, the Committee convened a meeting with First Nations leadership and now reports its findings to the House of Commons"--Introd., p. 1.
