WINNIPEG — Grieving families are hoping premiers will take action on their own following a second roundtable on missing and murdered indigenous women.
The first was held in Ottawa last year before the newly elected Liberals announced a national inquiry.
Lorelei Williams left in tears after only four family members were given four minutes each to address the first roundtable.
She says this time premiers and provincial ministers need to listen more carefully and do what they can to address the issue in their own jurisdictions.
Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne — who is attending the roundtable — says an inquiry is one way to address violence against indigenous women, but there are other things provinces can do on their own.
The roundtable is to convene in Winnipeg on Wednesday.
