The inquiry on missing and murdered indigenous women and girls delivered its final report to the federal government on June 3, the culmination of three years’ worth of investigation and testimony from over 2,300 Canadians.

The report, formally presented at a ceremony that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau attended in Gatineau, Quebec, has over 200 recommendations for multiple levels of Canada’s governments, as well as for police and Canadians in general, in a call to end what the report describes as a “genocide” against First Nations, Metis, and Inuit women and girls.
