The inquiry set to investigate the death of five-year-old child named Phoenix Sinclair recommenced on Wednesday morning at the Winnipeg Convention Centre, hearing the testimony of a social worker involved in the case.
The investigation began with inquiry commissioner, Ted Hughes, highlighting the progression timeline of the inquiry so far. Hughes mentioned that this inquiry is most likely to be one of, if not the most, expensive inquiries in the history of the province. Hughes explained that even though the inquiry has been delayed several times now, it is still scheduled to sit for 90 days between November and May 31, 2013.
Phoenix Sinclair was a new born baby child who was shifted from one foster house to another throughout her life until she was killed at age five on the Fisher River Cree Nation, north of Winnipeg, in 2005. The biological mother of Phoenix, Samantha Kematch, and her stepfather, Karl McKay, were charged with first degree murder in 2008.
When the inquiry convened on Wednesday morning, it recorded the testimony of a Manitoba child welfare worker, Andrew Orobko, who was associated with the child and family services unit on the case of Phoenix soon after her birth. Orobko begin the story by explaining how a seven-point plan was agreed for Phoenix by Kematch and her biological father Steve Sinclair which allowed weekly visitation between Kematch and Phoenix for encouraging bonding and a psychological assessment for Kematch. Orobko then went on and gave her complete testimony to the inquiry.
