Case of Cassidy Bernard brought to legislature by cousin and local MLA

The case of Cassidy Jean Bernard was brought to the provincial legislature on Thursday.

RCMP say officers responded to a call of a suspicious death at a home on Hwy. 105 in We’koma’q in October.

They say the 22-year-old woman was found unresponsive with her two infant children and they were not harmed.

Annie Bernard-Daisley, Bernard’s cousin, made a statement outside the legislature.

Daisley says the province must do more to stop violence against indigenous women.

She says the provincial government should be reopening cold cases involving the deaths and disappearances of aboriginal women.

Allan MacMaster, MLA for Inverness, read a statement in the legislature about missing and murdered indigenous women.

The statement said families have been left to feel like the women are being hunted.
