LETTER TO JOHN DUNCAN: Why Did You Kill Badly Needed Housing in Attawapiskat?

As the band had already been approved by CMHC, your role was simply to sign a ministerial guarantee. This was not a hand-out but a forward-looking plan that to provide safe housing for families who are living in very precarious conditions.
