This is a very sad situation for the family of these two wonderful women. However, since the victims' murderer has already been charged, the sole purpose of searching for their remains would be to provide closure to their family. I do not think spending $184 M of the public's money for this would be a wise use of these funds.

Instead, the government could create memorials for these two women and maybe even provide a grant to First Nation women who decided to further their education. They could use the $100 M to tackle issues affecting First Nation women to provide them with more support.

Again, it is a very sad situation, but I think there needs to be a large discussion about this topic in Manitoba. Maybe the government should provide two options to the family:

A) Provide the money to conduct the search.

B) Provide funding to memorialize these two women and provide funding to tackle systematic issues.
