Follow up to the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls
On August 9, 2016, in the wake of the creation of the federal National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls , the Québec government assigned to the commission of inquiry a mandate to investigate and report on the causes of the forms of violence against Indigenous women and girls in Québec and formulate recommendations on concrete, sustainable actions to be implemented to prevent such violence. The mandate enabled the committee members of the National Inquiry to conduct their deliberations in fields that fall within Québec's jurisdiction.
The final report, submitted on June 2, 2019, comprised 231 Calls for Justice applicable throughout Canada, while the report specific to the situation in Québec included 21 that focused, by way of an example, on employee training and cultural safety, domestic and sexual violence, justice, police processes, and security.
