Official statement by Commissioner Michèle Audette

June 5, 2018

I have received the government decision on the National Inquiry’s extension request.

I am currently inhabited by a feeling of incomprehension and deep disappointment.

My thoughts are with the family members, survivors of violence and the Spirit of the lost loved ones as the Government of Canada is failing them once again today…

I will allow myself the next few weeks to reflect, to analyze the decision, to express my personal opinion and to validate my future participation in the work of the National Inquiry.

I will get back to you at a press conference. Thank you.
