Nunavut senator calls out non-profits on "foreign funding"

APTN National News
Senator Dennis Patterson, Nunavut’s representative in the upper house of Parliament, is calling out non-profit groups operating in the North.

In a statement on the Senate floor, the Conservative senator says that non-profits have too much influence on events in Nunavut, and questions their commitment to Canada when they may have numerous foreign backers.

APTN National News reporter Kent Driscoll takes a close look at Patterson’s statement, and asks the question: if we’re going to talk about influence in the North, shouldn’t we be talking about energy companies as well?
