Cambria Harris walked out of a meeting with a federal minister Monday morning, she said, after the government disrespected her with questions about feasibility rather than a firm commitment to search a Winnipeg landfill for her mother’s remains.
Cambria Harris, daughter of Morgan Harris, speaks during a rally on Parliament Hill on Monday. The remains of Morgan Harris, Marcedes Myran and another woman named as Mashkode Bizhiki’ikwe, or Buffalo Woman, killed by an alleged serial killer, are believed to be in a landfill north of Winnipeg.
"I actually ended up walking out of the meeting because of the amount of just disrespect that my family has been shown," Harris told CBC News. The House of Commons resumed sitting for the fall on Monday. Harris meanwhile stood outside in the building's shadow, decrying complacency and jurisdictional squabbling.
"We need you to be a part of this fight to get this work done, everybody needs to start using their voices," she said. Grand Chief Cathy Merrick, of the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs, agreed the meeting fell well short of expectations.
