Mr. Speaker, Tseshaht Chief waamiiš Ken Watts reminded me that first nations and indigenous leaders believed that the Prime Minister and the Liberal government would implement all 94 calls to action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. So far, they have only implemented five. We heard from my colleague from Nunavut, the youngest member in this House, that she will be 69 years old at the pace of the government in implementing the Truth and Reconciliation calls to action.
We know many elders and survivors. I think of my good friend Barney Williams, who attended the school in Tk'emlúps. He is 81. It is important that we implement these calls to action while these survivors are alive so they can begin the healing process with their families.
Can my colleague speak about the importance of that and of providing the necessary resources and information to Tk'emlúps so that we can surround them with the important work and give the communities the necessary tools for their healing?
