Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Gary Anandasangaree says the federal government is on the verge of presenting a plan in response to calls for a search of a Manitoba landfill for the remains of two First Nations women believed to have been murdered by an alleged serial killer.
“This is an issue that we’re in for the long haul,” Anandasangaree told CBC News on Friday.
“We will make a decision very shortly.”
Anandasangaree said Ottawa is willing to support a search but it needs Manitoba to get on board.
“We’re not having a mature conversation with the different levels of government on how to get to the right place,” he said.
“We do need the province of Manitoba to be at the table.”

Indigenous Services Minister Patty Hajdu said she can’t imagine what it feels like to be a family member waking up to political ads talking about their loved ones.
Kevin Klein, the Progressive Conservative MLA running for re-election in Kirkfield Park, insisted his party is not trying to create a wedge issue.
Chief Kyra Wilson of Long Plain First Nation, the home community of both Myran and Harris, told CBC’s Rosemary Barton Live the governing party’s use of the landfill search issue for political purposes is an act of desperation.
Winnipeg Mayor Scott Gillingham also denounced the politicization of the search and said there needs to be a definitive response from the federal and provincial governments.
“If that’s indeed the case, that the federal minister has some clear news in the coming weeks, I think everybody would welcome that,” Gillingham told CBC’s Rosemary Barton Live.
