Mr. Speaker, the chiefs are on the Hill today demanding answers because of the government's lack of good faith. It is disgraceful that the commission has been forced to take the Conservatives to court.
To make an apology more than just words, the government must act now. The 150,000 residential school survivors, and all Canadians committed to reconciliation, deserve the full truth about this dark episode of Canadian history. Was the Prime Minister's historic apology just empty words? Are they trying to sabotage the commission's work, or will the Prime Minister direct all departments to fully co-operate with the commission, now?
