I can only assume that we have yet to hear Wynne's side of the story about the road announcement, because it would appear that even though Cornelius Wabasse was there when she gave it the message wasn't quite clear.  Or perhaps she was talking about another road...As if..If Chief Wabasse was so committed to stayinig true to the rest of Matawa why would he not talk about their claim?  Why did he only mention his own community, and not the whole of Matawa as a group?  Why?  Because he does not believe that what Neskantaga and Eabametoong are asking for is reasonable.  There are 9 Matawan First Nations within the Regional Framework Agreement.  What about the claims for a piece of the Ring being made from the other 5?  They are not getting much from the deal, but you don't hear them complaining.

Moving forward on all-season road that would access Webequie is "a big deal," said Cornelius Wabasse, the First Nation's chief.

"Once I hear the word 'commitment,' it's good to hear that word," Wabasse said. "I want that word to become a reality for our community."

Improving access for his community to the rest of Ontario is important, he continued.

"It means that we will be addressing some of the issues that we have in our community," he said, adding that those include the high cost of living, due to Webequie's remoteness, as well as improving the ability for residents to travel to other places.

"There is a lot of work that still needs to be done."
