Alberta, N.L. premiers skip Aboriginal leaders meeting Canada's premiers are backing a call by aboriginal leaders to launch a national public inquiry into the case of missing or murdered aboriginal women, CBC News has learned. "The premiers at the table agreed to support the call of the Native Women's Association of Canada for a national public inquiry on this very, very important issue," Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne said. A delegation of First Nations, Inuit and Métis leaders met with Canada's premiers this afternoon ahead of a two-day summit of the Council of the Federation in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont. that begins Thursday. Michèle Audette, the president of the NWA, called the backing by the premiers a "major" step forward. Audette told CBC News on Tuesday, ahead of the meeting, that she would call on the premiers and territorial leaders to support the group's push for a national public inquiry into why so many aboriginal women are murdered or go missing. "It is not a native women's issue, or an aboriginal issue. For us, it's a Canadian issue and everybody is affected by that," Audette told CBC News on Tuesday. http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/story/2013/07/24/pol-premiers-meeting-aboriginal-leaders-wednesday.html Hopefully ALL provinces will support and follow up as is necessary. |
