Certainly, commemoration, which has been done, in part, imperfectly at times.... There's work that Heritage will be supporting in the near future to make sure that there's proper commemoration for all Canadians to consider these things.
However, what you often hear from survivors is a lot of hope, not sort of unbridled.... There are still clear distrust words with the federal government, but you hear a lot of hope that what we're doing now will not be reproducing the model that got them where they are in the first place, and that it will be one that is focused on their own needs and the needs of their children. Whether they see the building of schools or health centres, or a proper commemoration, it's all an attempt to address elements of closure and accountability.
Some elders are speaking for the first time. It takes a whole heck of a lot of courage. Some will suffer in silence the rest of their days for very legitimate reasons. There are nuanced opinions and views as to how this process that we are all in as a country represents those, so I don't want to betray it by generalizing, but I see a lot of hope. It's hope that has to come with proof.
Anyone willing or wanting to run this country has to make the commitments that this government has made, and perhaps even more, if they want to gain the confidence of Canadians and the respect of those elders.
