Mr. Chair, I am not sure how to approach this. Am I in a frame of mind to say or hear that, under the circumstances, we would be required to say that there is something now and that we need to do this? No, I am not there. I am still in shock and need to absorb it.
Any recommendation that is sanctioned in a healthy and legitimate way by first nations is worthy of consideration. However, should the government not take a step back, eat humble pie and recognize that there is a major new variable in the picture?
It has just been revealed that there will be thousands of children's bodies discovered after the 14 recommendations. We could end up with 125.
Should we not first humbly acknowledge that and recognize that we may not even have gone far enough in the analysis or recommendations that were made?
