Manitoba Premier calls landfill search for human remains a “compassionate mission” | FULL

During an update on Thursday, Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew called the search of the Prairie Green Landfill a “compassionate mission” to bring home the remains of two slain First Nations women.
Kinew outlined the plans for a search of the landfill alongside Anna Mackin, assistant deputy minister of cabinet delivery and strategic priorities.
“We want to bring remains home so that these families can move on, through the steps of their grieving process, whether that means memorial services or funerals. We want to give them that ability,” Kinew said.
The remains of two victims of admitted serial killer Jeremy Skibicki are believed to be in the landfill, and after months of protest and debate - as well as delay due to Skibicki’s recently wrapped murder trial - a multi-phased plan to search the site is underway.

The victims’ families might consider having the Government earmark the search money to improve living conditions of the indigenous communities, leaving a meaningful legacy for the victims

Would the same explanation and expenditure of money go towards finding the remains of two non-Indigenous women killed by a demented serial killer?

If it was my European family, I'd ask them not to search but put the 100 million+ into programs to help women in harmful situations. Lift 300 families out of violent poverty or so.

Very good

Privilege?

Compassion first. I hope the family can get closure.

Offer them all a few million they will find closer then.

It's a waste of money this country doesn't have! If he wants to waste his own money than fine.
