Ottawa is spending $2 million for an international organization to provide First Nations with options around identifying possible human remains buried near
A statement from the office of Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Marc Miller says it is signing a technical agreement with the International Commission on Missing Persons.
It says the group will provide expert information on DNA analysis and “other forensic approaches for consideration” and then prepare a final report for the federal government. The Canadian Press first reported last November that government officials had been looking at contracting the international organization to assist on the matter, according to a heavily redacted briefing note obtained under federal access-to-information laws.
