Now that the final report on BC’s Missing Women Inquiry has been extended a third time, Justice Minister Shirley Bond says that won’t cost taxpayers any –more– money.
“I have been assured by Commissioner Oppal that the additional month is not going to incur additional costs.”
Bond says Wally Oppal’s review –slated to be delivered by November 30th– should be released publicly… by the end of the year.
“British Columbians will not only be able to see the report, but government will hopefully be able to provide some initial reaction.”
Bond adds total costs –now tagged at $ 8.6 million– will likely top $ 9 million.
The purpose of the inquiry was to determine why serial killer Robert Pickton wasn’t caught sooner… and suggest what can be done to ensure that tragedy is never repeated.
