Mr. Speaker, it is amazing the magnitude of the gap between compassion and doing the right thing that the government has.
The minister knows that an apology was to follow the completion of the residential schools agreement. The failure of the government to apologize for these wrongdoings committed against innocent aboriginal children is a betrayal, an insult to the people and an insult that is manifesting itself in a tragic legacy today.
Last November, I asked the Prime Minister to apologize. I would ask him again, on behalf of my family, to apologize.
