The Manitoba government says it's not responsible for the convictions of two First Nations men who were later exonerated in a 1973 killing and have launched lawsuits related to their convictions.

The prosecution of Brian Anderson and Allan Woodhouse was based on false confessions provided by Winnipeg police, and Crown prosecutors were not at fault, according to statements of defence filed on Tuesday by the province and Manitoba's attorney general.

False, Quebec has the SQ.

The RCMP barely operates in Quebec.
