Indigenous women’s inquiry head says process moving at ‘lightning speed’
VANCOUVER — The head of the national inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women denies the process is drifting, saying she believes it’s moving at “lightning speed.”
Marion Buller announced Thursday the inquiry will hold nine community hearings across Canada this fall, amid controversy over the resignation of its executive director and complaints from families about delays and poor communication.
Buller was asked about comments made by Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak Grand Chief Sheila North Wilson, who called for Buller to step down and the inquiry to restart.
“I don’t intend to resign,” Buller replied firmly.
