Tue Jan 8 2013

Watch the full reaction by the Congress for Aboriginal Peoples tonight on PrimeTime Politics (5pm ET / 2pm ET and 8pm ET / 5pm PT).

Read the full Federal Court decision

Meanwhile, the Mikisew Cree and Frog Lake first nations in Alberta announced today they will seek judicial review of the government's two omnibus budget bills passed in 2012: C-38 and C-45.

The communities claim their constitutional right to consultation was not respected over changes to fisheries, environmental protection, and navigable waters legislation.
