By Stephanie Taylor THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA-The federal government does not have a willing partner to find a way to introduce fire codes on First Nation reserves, a newly released document shows.

The note was prepared ahead of an anticipated meeting with Assembly of First Nations National Chief RoseAnne Archibald
