WINNIPEG — Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger says he'd like to see practical suggestions coming out of a roundtable in Winnipeg on missing and murdered indigenous women.
He says the provinces shouldn't wait for a national inquiry, but should work together to do what they can to address the issue.
He says Manitoba, for one, wants to move forward to support aboriginal families who have lost loved ones and to make communities safer generally.
He says that should be the goal of all jurisdictions.
Selinger says he expects the federal government to work with all the provinces because they provide many of the services he is suggesting.
The roundtable began on Wednesday with closed-door sessions for families only and is now into meetings with premiers, ministers, indigenous leaders and families.
