Angus makes big promise during NDP leadership race

It’s a major commitment by Timmins-James Bay MP Charlie Angus in his quest to become leader of the federal New Democrats.  Not only is Angus promising to protect the interests of First Nations, Metis and Inuit children, he would also dismantle the department of Indigenous Affairs.  Angus adds he would look at how Indigenous Affairs and Health Canada are run and then let the indigenous communities operate them.  Angus also wants to determine the true cost of delivering services to Indigenous people.  His goal is to end the ongoing practice of the Department of Justice challenging aboriginal rights in the courts.  In total, five people are running for the NDP leadership.  The others are B.C. MP Peter Julian, Niki Ashton, an MP from Manitoba, Quebec MP Guy Caron and Jagmeet Singh who is a provincial MPP from Ontario.
