The opposition Conservative party in Canada wants a federal investigation into the $350 million spent on a troubled Innu Nation community in Labrador.
"This government is failing aboriginal peoples in this country," Conservative MP Jim Prentice was quoted as saying.
The government spent most of the money to relocate the community. Other money went to combat substance abuse and child neglect. But some of the problems have gotten worse, government documents show.
