Deal with India to impact Aboriginal employees

Upon his visit to Canada in mid-April, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi signed an agreement valued at hundreds of millions dollars to buy uranium from Saskatchewan. India has entered into a contract with Cameco Corp. to purchase more than 3,000 tonnes of uranium to fuel India’s power reactors. “For an employer of 4,000 people in the province—45 per cent of them First Nations and Metis —it`s a great day for Saskatchewan,” said Premier Brad Wall, who was in Toronto for the signing.
