The federal government’s next steps ahead of a national inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women is becoming clearer.
After wrapping up cross-country family consultations last month, Minister of Status of Women Patty Hajdu says they’re now compiling that information.
She says the government hopes to select a commissioner by the end of June.
Hajdu adds they heard from over 4,000 people online and in person with ties to missing and murdered women, and also met with legal experts that have either worked on or designed commissions, as well as Indigenous lawyers. (File photo)
