The Quebec government is proposing a public inquiry into police relations in Val-d'Or, Que., more than a year after police officers there were accused of sexually assaulting aboriginal women.
The news comes as the federal inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women says its two-year mandate isn't long enough to delve into Val-d'Or.
