The Liberal government is withdrawing a Federal Court challenge over the delivery of health-care services for First Nations children.
An agreement was reached between Ottawa and the AFN and First Nations Child and Family Caring Society.
Feds were criticized for being slow to implement changes ordered by the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal to the way they process First Nations children’s health care coverage for children in foster care.
The federal government was found guilty by the Tribunal of discrimination against indigenous children by providing funding at a disproportionate rate.

Researchers in Calgary say employees should be aware they could fail workplace drug tests due to second-hand smoke from marijuana.
A new research study from the University of Calgary says THC _ the active ingredient in marijuana _ is detectable in the body after as little as 15 minutes of exposure even if the person is not actively smoking it.
Findings suggest anyone exposed to second-hand smoke in a poorly ventilated room including a kitchen, basement, or living room with the windows closed, will test positive after 15 minutes.
It can take between 24 and 48 hours for the THC to clear from the system.
