Canadas Crown-Indigenous relations minister has criticized the Manitoba government for its decision to not search a landfill for the bodies of two murdered Indigenous women.
During a speech to Manitoba members of the Assembly of First Nations in Halifax, Marc Miller said they need to try to search the Prairie Green landfill, located near Stony Mountain.
My reflection on this is that this has been dealt with in quite a heartless way, quite frankly, Miller said. We do absolutely have to try as a federal government.
The bodies of Morgan Harris and Marcedes Myran are believed to have been dumped in Prairie Green Landfill. Families have been calling for the search of the landfill after Winnipeg police found the partial remains of Rebecca Contois last year in Winnipegs Brady Landfill.
However, the feasibility study says not searching the landfill could cause significant distress to the families of Harris and Myran.
A blockade has been in place on the main road to the Brady Landfill since Thursday.
