Statistics show that the great majority of female homicide victims are killed by current or former husbands and boyfriends, and the RCMP study concluded that this is the case for indigenous women as well as non-indigenous women - meaning that indigenous homicide victims are killed by their indigenous partners or ex-partners.
As for the women murdered by serial killers, they are almost all drug-addicted street sex workers, who have been a favourite target of serial killers since Jack the Ripper simply because they are easy prey - and sadly, indigenous women make up a disproportionate number of street sex workers in places like Vancouver and Edmonton.
Instead of spending $50 million on an inquiry which would teach us nothing new, how about finding ways to stop violence on reserves, and preventing drug and alcohol abuse among indigenous people?
