Inquiry into missing, murdered women only scratching the surface: chair
RICHMOND, B.C. — The head of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls says that without an extension, it will feel as though work remains undone.
Marion Buller told The Canadian Press that the inquiry can produce a report and recommendations based on its investigation thus far, but “that would just scratch the surface.”
“It isn’t just more people, it’s also quality and depth of analysis,” she said in an interview.
The inquiry was established by the federal government in late 2015 to investigate the disproportionately high number of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls in Canada, and to give family members a chance to have their stories heard.
