Mr. Speaker, aboriginal women have called for a national investigation into the more than 520 cases involving their murdered or missing sisters, mothers and daughters.

The Conservative member for Simcoe North agrees, saying that what is needed is an investigation of the disappearances.
A research project alone cannot lay criminal charges and offer families closure. Will the Minister of Justice launch a national federal investigation?
