Premier Jean Charest, meanwhile, did not respond in the legislature when the Parti Quebecois asked him whether Jacques Chagnon is still the man for the job. Chagnon, who is in charge of policing in Quebec, criticized Mohawks on the Kanesatake settlement earlier this week. He apologized Wednesday. Charest defended Chagnon on Wednesday but that was before the Quebec vice-president of the Assembly of First Nations called for the public security minister to resign. Later on Thursday, Charest told reporters he did not respond to the PQ question in the legislature because, as he said Wednesday, he believes the "case is closed." The Action democratique du Quebec has also called for Chagnon's dismissal. Native News North List info{all lists}: http://nativenewsonline.org/natnews.htm Yahoo!
