Some Cree and Inuit groups, along with scientists, health professionals and environmentalists are trying to ban lead ammunition.
Recent studies show that about eight per cent of Cree people have higher levels of lead than what is allowed under Canadian standards.
A ban on lead ammunition for hunting migratory birds has been in place since 1999.
And not everyone thinks it should be expanded.

What are the effects of lead shots in the body?
