A northwestern Ontario MP is expressing his disappointment over complaints being leveled against the Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.
Family members say they’ve given up hope on the Inquiry and are threatening blockades.
Don Rusnak, who sits on the Common’s Committee on Indigenous and Northern Affairs, is hoping it doesn’t come down to that.
The Thunder Bay-Rainy River MPP says the inquiry was designed for good things and is about the victims and the families and that this doesn’t happen again.
Rusnak admits it’s a huge undertaking, noting the government can’t be looked at as interfering with an independent inquiry.
However, he says they should be looking at if they did everything to ensure everything is set up properly.
The probe is to start its first hearings in Whitehorse on Monday. (File Photo)
