First Nations chiefs in Ontario are voting today on whether to accept a child welfare reform deal with the federal government.

A national $47.8 billion deal was voted down on two occasions last year when chiefs across the country said it didn’t go far enough on eliminating discrimination.

Ottawa informed the Assembly of First Nations earlier this year it was not prepared to renegotiate reforms on a national level.
