Val-d'Or abuse scandal

Val-d'Or abuse scandal

Crown prosecutors will not charge six Sûreté du Québec police officers following an investigation into the alleged abuse of indigenous women in Val-d'Or. The news sent shock waves through the town's Algonquin community and indigenous communities throughout the province. Daniel Salée, professor in the School of Community and Public Affairs in the Faculty of Arts and Science, can weigh in on the complicated relationship between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people in Quebec and Canada. He can also talk about what the decision may mean for the community.
