Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence says she will use the courts if necessary to resist the imposition of a third-party manager.

Marion is already controlling the purse strings and making a positive difference, Duncan said Monday, praising the consultant's work.
"The third-party manager is already getting results for the community," Duncan said. "He purchased 22 modular homes using federal funds. He is ensuring that services and social services are delivered."
NDP MP Charlie Angus begged to differ, saying Marion wasn't involved in an agreement between the community and the department to acquire the homes.
John Saunders, the Ontario director of disaster management for the Canadian Red Cross, said he's never spoken with Marion.
"Most of the items that we've purchase have been as a result of the donations from Canadians," Saunders said.
