Steven Point

Steven Lewis Point, OC OBC (Xwelíqwetel) (born July 28, 1951)[1] is a Canadian academic administrator, criminal lawyer, and jurist.

The position required him to assist the Minister of Justice to implement the recommendations dealing primarily with police reform and public safety made by Wally Oppal in his Inquiry Report released December 12, 2012.

On May 17, 2013, Point resigned from his position as chair on the grounds that lawsuits commenced by the children of missing women prevented him from fulfilling his mandate.

Members of the Advisory Committee and family members expressed doubt about this reason on the basis that Point had expressed his intention to resign before the children's lawsuits were filed, and on the basis that there is no logical or practical connection between his work as chair of the Advisory Committee and the lawsuits.

[7] Point's daughter, Á'a:líya Warbus, is the nominee for the Conservative Party of British Columbia in the newly created riding of Chilliwack-Cultus Lake.
