Mr. Trudeau met with relatives of the man, Colten Boushie, on Tuesday. The family members said the police had treated them more like criminals than victims and had conducted an inadequate investigation. PhotoMr. Trudeau said on Wednesday that the government would use the meetings, known as consultations, to determine how jury selection could be changed. During his speech, Mr. Trudeau said that his father, former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, initially did not want to include Indigenous rights when Canada created its current Constitution in 1982. The consultations will be led by Jody Wilson-Raybould, the justice minister, and Carolyn Bennett, the Indigenous relations minister, with the aim of putting changes in place by fall 2019.
