What's an inquiry going to do? What's the end goal of an inquiry? Is it actually going to make a difference? Why do we have to keep tying up stuff like this in committee's.

During a question-and-answer session hosted by the Council for Foreign Relations, Harper was asked by a member of Human Rights Watch about the prospects of a federal inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women.
"I remain very skeptical of commissions of inquiry generally. My experience has been they almost always run way over time, way over budget, and often the recommendations prove to be of limited utility," he replied.
Harper said the issue has been studied extensively, and that "it is time to pass to action."
The Conservative government, Harper said, has invested resources to establish prevention programs and to buttress the investigative powers of police, and has also worked to improve the status of aboriginal women living on reserves, including legislation to protect their property right
Actually trying to do something sounds like a better idea to me.
