The police chiefs need to re-review the recommendations which call for a public inquiry.
There have been at least 29 official reports and inquiries hoping to address various aspects of this crisis since 1996, and over 500 recommendations. One of the recommendations made most consistently, by the broadest range of voices, is that we need a national public inquiry into this issue.
A national public inquiry would finally allow for a comprehensive investigation into the causes underlying this pattern of murders and disappearances. It would permit an investigation that covers all provinces and territories, at all levels of government. And it would be a high-profile acknowledgement that, after decades of silence, our government is finally willing to work with aboriginal Canadians to begin solving the problem of violence against aboriginal women.
