Ottawa, December 11 (RHC)-- Canada has vowed to set up an inquiry into the disappearances and murders of nearly 1,200 indigenous women and girls over the last three decades, a demand made by First Nations activists for years.
Newly-elected Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he hoped the inquiry would help restore trust between the Canadian government and First Nations. He told journalists: "I know that renewing our relationship is an ambitious goal, but I am equally certain that it is one that we can and will achieve if we work together."
