The much-anticipated report, to be formally presented in a ceremony at the museum with more than 200 recommendations to multiple levels of government, calls violence against First Nations, Metis and Inuit women and girls a form of "genocide" and a crisis "centuries in the making."
The report, the culmination of a three-year effort that was often beset by controversy, delays and personnel problems, documents what chief commissioner Marion Buller calls "important truths" -- including that Canadian laws and institutions are themselves to blame for violating the human rights of Indigenous Peoples.
The recommendations -- framed in the report as "calls for justice" -- include developing an effective response to human trafficking cases and sexual exploitation and violence, including in the sex industry. They are not optional, but constitute legal imperatives, it says. Missing and murdered Indigenous women are believed to number in the thousands in Canada, but the report says that despite its best efforts to quantify the extent of the tragedy, "no one knows an exact number."

MMIW?
Why is genocide surrounded with scare quotes?

Also all Canadians need to start properly recycling. Or all people need to pay for their garbage in weight increments. Well we need to stop accepting products from other countries that make us film our landfills unless Canada knows what to do with the waste it creates... The Canadian government did not send these materials to their destinations. It was a business, a corporation. Those people should be held responsible. Also, if these materials were not acceptable, then that may be a result of slack customs and inspections at the point of arrival
