Feds Not Moving Forward With Public Inquiry

The federal Conservatives are dismissing calls for a national public inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women.
A spokesperson for Justice Minister Peter MacKay says the government has already taken concrete action, including passing legislation that gives women living on First Nations reserves access to emergency protection orders.
The government says it has also provided new tools to law enforcement and worked to improve the justice system, such as
creating a National Centre for Missing Persons.
The spokesperson stresses the government will continue to work with the parliamentary committee that’s currently studying the issue.
