Trudeau stands by inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women
EDMONTON — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau suggested Saturday that it should be no surprise that the inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women has run into some snags.
“There were always going to be big challenges with such an important and meaningful commission,” said Trudeau, who was in Alberta’s capital to promote his government’s child care policies.
Recently, there has been criticism that the inquiry is proceeding too slowly and that some of the victims’ families are becoming anxious.
Trudeau said it’s essential to have the inquiry to help put an end to what he calls an “ongoing national tragedy,” but he steered clear of second guessing the inquiry’s commissioners.
