Women’s Commission chair agrees MMIWG inquiry needs extension
An extension of the national inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls is something the Prince Albert Grand Council’s Women’s Commission would welcome.
On March 7, the commissioners of the national inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls formally asked for a two-year extension. The extra time would allow the inquiry to reach more women and girls, host more hearings, and conduct original research.
The commissioners said they could still complete their task by the 2018 deadline, however an extension would allow them to produce a more in depth and compelling report.
The chair of the Prince Albert Grand Council Women’s Commission, Shirley Henderson, agrees.
