Madam Chair, when listening to hon. members, we are all thinking heavily about what they are talking about. We are talking about 215 children and babies, but we are also talking about 215 parents. We are talking about communities. We are talking about generations that have been affected.
Who knows how many more children's bodies would be found if we searched every single site. This is not a discovery, but confirmation. Indigenous people have been talking about bodies buried at these school sites for decades, not just at these known sites either but other sites that are not considered residential schools and clearly should be. This is asked for explicitly in the TRC calls to action.
At the pace the government is going, roughly two calls to action per year, we will not be finished until 2062. The Prime Minister will be 91 by then.
Could the member speak to the lethargic pace of the action on the TRC calls to action and what it means to have these actions delayed for indigenous peoples and indigenous communities across the country?
