Forsaken; The Report of the Missing Women Commission of Inquiry

Earlier this afternoon, the Missing Women Commission of Inquiry, led by former BC Attorney General Wally Oppal, released its report, Forsaken.

The report includes four volumes:

I.     The Women, their Lives and the Framework of Inquiry: Setting the Context for Understanding and Change

II.   Nobodies: How and Why We Failed the Missing and Murdered Women

III. Gone, but Not Forgotten: Building the Women’s Legacy of Safety Together

IV.  The Commission’s Process

The 1,448-page report also includes a 180-page executive summary.

The Commission of Inquiry has produced a lengthy report that merits thorough consideration and attention.

In the coming days, the media will provide immediate reaction to the report that will prompt an important and long-overdue conversation on missing women.

When the Senate resumes sitting in the New Year, I will speak on this report, and share more detailed reflections on its findings and recommendations.
