Giving Meaning to the Silence: The Role of MDIQ Explained at the University of Ottawa

Read Time:1 Minute, 7 Second

As President of Meurtres et Disparitions Irrésolus du Québec – MDIQ, I had the privilege of being invited by the Association de Droit Criminel et Carcéral de l’Université d’Ottawa to give a lecture about my journey and the mission that guides our fieldwork.

Speaking to young law students, whose average age is around 21–22, represents a unique opportunity: to raise awareness among the next generation of legal professionals about the often-overlooked realities of unsolved cases and the human impact these cases have on families.

During this meeting, I was able to highlight the essential role our charitable organization plays in Quebec. I presented the concrete actions we undertake daily, the efforts made to support the families of missing persons, and the importance of giving a voice to those who, too often, no longer have one.

I am convinced that this type of dialogue helps give new momentum to MDIQ. The more we communicate our mission, the closer we come to the institutional recognition we deserve — and that affected families also need.

MDIQ will continue its work with determination, rigor, and compassion. I remain deeply grateful to the Université d’Ottawa for providing this platform, which allows us to amplify our message and pave the way for a better understanding of the issues surrounding unsolved cases in Quebec.
