\u0027The reality of where we’re working is that the Government of Canada can’t nationalize the garbage dump or the waste disposal system\u0027 in Winnipeg
“We are willing to play a role, a very important role in this,” Marc Miller said Wednesday at the Assembly of First Nations general meeting in Halifax.“But the reality of where we’re working is that the Government of Canada can’t nationalize the garbage dump or the waste disposal system of the City of Winnipeg.”
Miller said he will be speaking with Winnipeg Mayor Scott Gillingham about the search later Wednesday. Winnipeg’s mayor has said he hopes for dialogue with the protesters but the City of Winnipeg must make sure that garbage continues to be collected and there is access through the road. The federally funded study into the possibility of a search warned there are risks due to exposure of toxic chemicals and asbestos. It also said forgoing a search could be harmful for the women’s families.
