NDP Indigenous Affairs Critic raises alarm as new report warns of stalled action on MMIWG2S+ Calls for Justice « Canada’s NDP

June 4, 2026 at 9:00 am  Federal, Politics

On June 3rd, Member of Parliament Leah Gazan issued the following statement:

“Seven years ago, the Final Report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls revealed the root causes and impacts of ongoing systemic violence, itself part of a larger system of violence and legislated neglect towards Indigenous Peoples. But the Final Report also offered a pathway for the legal and social changes necessary to bring this system to an end through the 231 Calls for Justice, which the federal government has committed to fully implement.

However, the report from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives published yesterday shows that despite some progress made in past years on a select few of the Calls, overall progress on the prevention of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people is “at serious risk as federal funding [is] set to collapse, per the National Family and Survivors Circle Inc.

“It has been seven years, and the government has only fulfilled two calls for justice,” stated Gazan. “Given the finding of the Permanent People’s Tribunal that the Government of Canada’s current policies constitute an ongoing genocide against Indigenous Peoples, it is completely unacceptable that the Liberal government has cut funding for programs to help address the ongoing genocide of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people.”
