Prince George, B.C.- The  Commissioner for the Murdered and Missing Women Inquiry being held in Vancouver, is taking a break.

Commissioner Wally Oppal announced this morning the inquiry will stand down until April 2nd to allow Commission Inquiry Counsel, Art Vertlieb to  locate and engage  experienced, reliable counsel to represent Aboriginal interests.

Last week,  lawyer Robyn Gervais  resigned  saying she didn’t beleive  First Nations voices   were being heard.

Commissioner  Wally Oppal says the  hearings are on hold until the  2nd of April  because  Aboriginal  interests are  too important.   On the 2nd of April, the  inquiry will hear from  the Native Liaison Society.
