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.”
Has this landfill been under constant close surveillance this whole time? I wonder if it’s possible the perp went there at like 2am and moved the bodies again.

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.

This kind of sets a precedent that you can just dump bodies in landfills and nobody will bother looking doesn’t it?
We should always go as far as humanly possible to retrieve human remains.
I wonder if that decision will be made October 4?
We can only hope. 🤞
Let the volunteers search.
These people ARE volunteering when they’re protesting, right?
Has this landfill been under constant close surveillance this whole time? I wonder if it’s possible the perp went there at like 2am and moved the bodies again.
It’s unlikely that there is anything resembling a body to find, let alone move.
By the time anyone realized the victim might be in the landfill, signifigant amounts of decomposition would have already happened.
As of today, about all that’ll be left is some bone fragments and any metal the victim happened to be wearing.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
