I think indigenous culture is just different. They keep telling us so. I believe them. I don't think an inquiry will tell us something that isn't already known. It cant be "fixed". The world has changed, like 500 years ago. And you can't go back and an inquiry won't tell you how to go forward, if indigenous culture can't adapt, like the rest of the world. The world just keeps hurtling forward. We're all on the same rock. Like a mental health patient that can't help itself. |

Harper is in the twilight of his reign - he will do anything to hold on to power, guaranteed he will call for an inquiry - with the feds sure to follow their provincial counterparts into oblivion. Look for the dollars to flow - taxpayer dollars by the way. |

I think an inquiry will cost $50 million? That kind of money would be better spent in helping with economic oppurtunities. The bottom line is there are very few economic opportunities in remote areas. Communities and U.S. funded NGOs, should NOT be scaring people and business away, but finding real opportunities that will work. What else are the options - there are none, except dependency, poverty, lack of services, despair, substance abuse, FASD, crime and punishment. Break the chain, be courageous. We want you in. |

Yes the loss of these women is tragic, but how will an inquiry in a room full of high price lawyers and litigators help? Check the real statistics from the RCMP in regards to missing aboriginal women and make your own call, I agree with Harper and let the Mounties do their jobs |

No, we do not need an inquiry. If there were to be one it should not be based either on gender or ethnicity, as that would be discriminatory.
Sadly, most of the murdered aboriginal women are killed by their spouse or another family member. There are more aboriginal males murdered than females. On a per capita basis, aboriginals also have a high rate of suicide.
An inquiry will not stop the murders, nor will it bring anyone back. Education and lifestyle choices would go a long way to reduce the problem. |

We certainly do NOT need another inquiry on this subject. The last one a few years back was supposed to cost only five million dollars and it ended up costing about ten times that amount and now they want another one... it's just a big party for those involved costs us tax payer again. May be it's time the people involved shouldered some responsibility and quite wining... Harper you're 100 per cent right ... |

I don't think an inquiry is needed. The reasons are already known but a lot of people fail to admit it. Until the reasons are acknowledged nothing can be done to fix the situation. |

It certainly a tragedy without question, but do we really need another study? We need more action by all parties concerned from parents to community members to increased Police numbers to act on all murdered and missing people of all races and genders, not only aboriginal women. |
