We check in with Maggie Cywink about the upcoming inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women. Maggie’s sister Sonya Cywink was murdered over 20 years ago and the case remains unsolved.

Maggie says the announcement felt like a photo op for the Liberals.

She first spoke to us back in December when the inquiry was announced:
