WINNIPEG — The Manitoba government will be joining an Indigenous-led committee tasked with determining whether it’s possible to recover the remains of two First Nations women believed to be in a landfill outside of Winnipeg.
The federal government says it will fund the study and it would like a discussion about what resources are needed from various levels of government. It has yet to be determined what role the province will play in the feasibility study but Stefanson committed to providing technical resources and expertise that are needed, as well as pitching in to cover costs.
Stefanson met with Grand Chief Cathy Merrick of the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs Friday afternoon to discuss next steps.
