First Nations chiefs have backed a resolution calling on Marion Buller, the chief commissioner of the missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls inquiry, to resign. Chief Peter Collins, of Fort William First Nation, first introduced the motion at the assembly calling for an extension without the condition Buller leave her post, but agreed to the addition — moved by Judy Wilson, chief of the Neskonlith Indian Band in B.C. In an interview after her public rebuke of Buller, Wilson said Buller is too cold and "heartless" in her approach to families and survivors. Sheila North Wilson, Grand Chief of Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakinak, was scathing in her criticism of MMIWG chief commissioner Marion Buller. "I think if you get rid of the commissioner, it will paralyze the operation and slow things down," he said.
