Canada Montreal Quebec hands over Val d'Or abuse investigation to federal MMIW inquiry

Quebec will not be launching its own investigation into allegations of violence against Indigenous women in Val-d'Or.

Instead, the Couillard government announced today it will put that work in the hands of the national inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls.

Quebec will hand the investigation over to Ottawa and promises that the federal government will have access to all the information a provincial investigation would.
