Premier Greg Selinger made the commitment at a meeting of indigenous leaders and provincial premiers in Happy Valley Goose Bay, N. L., Friday. Indigenous concerns, including the soaring numbers of aboriginal children in the care of provincial child- welfare systems and the issue of missing and murdered women, were among the high- profile topics under discussion. "( We are) very committed to the issue of murdered and missing indigenous women and girls," a spokesman for the premier wrote in an email Friday. Selinger was on a plane and unavailable to comment. Selinger offered to host the second roundtable at the conclusion of the first such gathering in Ottawa in February. There were no details and no set date was released. The offer to hold a second roundtable was one the few tangible outcomes from the first national roundtable on missing and murdered indigenous women that had been proposed as a compromise to an inquiry at the 2014 premiers conference. In comments to the premiers at this year's conference, Selinger stressed the need for comprehensive national action. " The federal government needs to step up. We haven't seen a solid commitment from them yet," Selinger said earlier this week from the premiers conference in St. John's. Hosting the second roundtable acts as a pledge to keep the issue before the public, Selinger's spokesman indicated. " Manitoba feels it is important to host the forthcoming conference to keep the discussions and actions on this issue moving so that we move to an understanding and resolution of a problem that harms our indigenous people." The roundtables serve as wide- ranging gatherings devoted strictly to the issue and act as a forum for federal and provincial politicians, indigenous leaders and family members of the missing and slain women in the hope it might help generate a concrete plan to combat violence faced by indigenous women and girls. Manitoba will host a summit of law enforcement officers, prosecutors and victims services on the issue in October. Manitoba continues to press Ottawa for a national inquiry. So far, the federal government has resisted such calls. A report from the RCMP released last year showed nearly 1,200 aboriginal women went missing or were slain in Canada from 1980 to 2012. Statistics Canada reports aboriginal women and teenagers are 3.5 times more likely to experience violence than non- aboriginal women and three times as likely to be victims of domestic violence. alexandra. paul@ freepress. mb. ca THE Winnipeg Police Board has taken a crucial step toward making the indigenous council on policing and crime prevention a reality. In a release sent Friday, the board announced it was accepting nominations for members of the new council. In December, the board announced a series of initiatives designed to better protect aboriginal women and solve crimes involving them. Part of that motion was to establish this council by June 2015. Board chairman Coun. Scott Gillingham said they began the process in May but realized they needed more time to establish the council. " The length that it has taken is just a matter of trying to do a really good job of establishing this council," he said. Along with establishing the council, the board passed the motion in December that also called for allocating more funds to support this as a priority, improve responses to violence within families and enhance the cultural awareness and sensitivity training that officers receive, to name a few. Gilligham noted by holding discussions with aboriginal leaders, they examined how best to establish the council, which spurred the idea to form the council through nominations The board will be accepting nominations for council members until Aug. 12, and forms can be found at the police board's website, www. winnipegpoliceboard. ca. The council will be empowered to raise any issue that is within the board's mandate in order to offer its advice and recommendations. In tandem with this council, the board will also establish an indigenous issues committee. Indigenous police board members Leslie Spillet and Mary Jane Loustel will serve on the committee. As for the other resolutions the board passed in December, the establishment of this council will help them with those initiatives, said Gillingham. " This is critical to what the steps will be, the strategic plan lays out what the next steps will be and goals the board and service board will be pursuing with this council," he said. " We will really get a sense from their advice and discussion what some of the priorities, the programs and strategies ( are) that will help improve the safety and well- being of indigenous people," he said. kristin. annable@ freepress. mb. ca Second meeting on crime planned Missing, murdered women the focus By Alexandra Paul Progress toward aboriginal council By Kristin Annable ' The length that it has taken is just a matter of trying to do a really good job of establishing this council' - police board chairman Coun.
