A Winnipeg man charged earlier this year with the murder of a woman is facing charges in the deaths of three more women.
WINNIPEG - Police allege a Winnipeg man charged with killing an Indigenous woman last May also killed three other women — two also confirmed to be Indigenous and one believed to be.
Police at the time said they were not ruling out more victims. On Thursday they said Skibicki is now charged with first-degree murder in three other deaths in the same short period in the spring. Police also said a fourth woman, unidentified but believed to be Indigenous, is thought to have been killed on or about March 15, 2022. They released a photo of a jacket similar to one she had been wearing.

'The status quo is not working': AG calls for different approach to climate emergencies in First NationsAuditor General Karen Hogan says Indigenous Services Canada must be accountable for the poor progress on emergency management on First Nations, rebuffing suggestions from Liberal MPs the file be evaluated as a whole-of-government approach. In appearances before several parliamentary committees since releasing a Nov. 15 audit, Hogan has expressed frustration about Indigenous Services Canada’s (ISC) lack of progress on supporting emergency management in Indigenous communities. “We’ve got many decades of audits that show that the status quo is not working,” Hogan told the House Indigenous and Northern Affairs Committee on Nov. 28, referring to previous external audits by her office and internal audits by ISC. “We looked at this issue in 2013 and are finding the exact same recommendation.” The audit found that ISC “did not provide the support First Nations communities needed to manage emergencies such as floods and wildfires,” and that ISC’s approach has been reactive rather than preventative, which has resulted both in higher costs and in repeated evacuations of First Nations communities. NDP MP Blake Desjarlais (Edmonton Griesbach, Alta.) told the House Public Accounts Committee on Nov. 25 that the audit report had been very difficult to absorb, “for me and for many members across Canada.” “The fact that this report echoes failures over decades is something I’m ashamed of,” said Desjarlais. “It’s deplorable to know that in our country, this is the reality still facing Indigenous people.” Hogan and other members of her office appeared before the Senate Committee on Indigenous Peoples on Nov. 23, before the House Public Accounts Committee on Nov. 25, and before the House Indigenous and Northern Affairs Committee on Nov. 28 to discuss the Nov. 15 report.

Besides the audit of emergency management in First Nations communities, the auditor general also looked into chronic
