OTTAWA — Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Gary Anandasangaree says the federal government will put $740,000 towards further assessing the feasibility of searching a Winnipeg-area landfill for the remains of two First Nations women.
He says more research is needed to figure out how a search can be undertaken, based on the findings of an initial feasibility study.
Manitoba’s premier-designate Wab Kinew promised his NDP government would move forward with a search of the landfill if he came into power, and Anandasangaree says the federal government aims to work with the province on next steps.
More coming.
