SUMA supports inquiry in murdered, missing Aboriginal women

Members of the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association voted in favour of a resolution to hold an inquiry into missing and murdered Aboriginal women. The motion was put forward by North Battleford city council. “A lot of our police chiefs have said they already know what the problem is, and it’s time to move forward with some action and possibly a task force,” said SUMA President Debra Button, who was not surprised the resolution passed. The vote was not unanimous with some delegates saying it would be an expensive and fruitless endeavour.
