The Iroquois Caucus held a press conference today in Ottawa declaring “resolute opposition” to the proposed capital funding and lands treaty sought by a group of Algonquin nations.

Iroquois Caucus says they have raised concerns with the AOO, Canada and the province but have not received conclusive responses to those concerns.
