"Now that the inquiry has been called, it feels like Manitoba is stalling. "They're trying to say that police and [Child and Family Services] will not be held accountable or will not be part of the inquiry," Banman said. About half a dozen tents were set up outside the Manitoba Legislative Building by protesters who say the province is keeping a national inquiry into murdered and missing Indigenous women from getting underway. We seem to be the ones holding everything up, and that's not OK," Sandy Banman, one of the protesters, said Tuesday. The inquiry's mandate isn't expected to include the option of recommending that police reopen cold cases, and Banman said that's "very disturbing."
