The Agenda’s Steve Paikin interviews Marten Fall’s Chief Bruce Achneepineskum, Noront Resources President and CEO Alan Coutts and former Supreme Court of Canada Justice, the Honourable Frank Iacobucci who is now Senior Councel at Torys Law Firm in Toronto.

The economic promise behind the Ring of Fire has been the dreams of Ontario governments and northern Ontarians alike for over a decade. After millions of dollars have been invested into the mineral rich region, the PC government has now decided to eliminate a regional agreement with nine united First Nations, preferring to deal with them on a one-on-one basis. The Agenda discusses the status of the project.
