Mr. Speaker, aboriginal and survivor organizations are frustrated with the government's secrecy around the draft apology statement.
Given the significance of the apology, it is inconceivable the government would expect survivors and aboriginal people just to accept what it dishes out.
Will the minister tell the House why he has not involved Phil Fontaine and the AFN, will he commit to an open discussion about the text of the apology and will he allow survivors to be right here on the floor of the House of Commons with us so they can face the Prime Minister when he tries to deliver this apology?
