Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Thank you very much, everyone, for having us. Good afternoon. My name is Ry Moran. I'm the director of the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation located at the University of Manitoba. I'm joined here today by Dr. Cynthia Wesley-Esquimaux, vice-provost of aboriginal init

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Those are very important, very legitimate questions. The TRC that was established as a result of the Indian residential school settlement agreement was instructed in its mandate to establish the then-called National Research Centre. In 2011, the TRC hosted a significant internat

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  That's a critical question. Without a doubt, this is a concern I share. One of my efforts as the director of the centre is to create as much stability for the centre as humanly possible. This concern was directly addressed in the trust agreement, the administrative agreement t

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Call to action number 76, which I referred to, is also going to be a good help for that. Stability is king.

Ry Moran

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  So far we've enjoyed a really strong working relationship with the Government of Canada, and the Government of Canada has flowed money to us in a number of different installments. There was an announcement made at the closing ceremonies of the TRC last year of $1 million, with ad

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  It remains uncertain, at this point. I believe there is general good will, but certainty around this is, truthfully, going to help me sleep better at night.

Ry Moran

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  We're taking a very risk-cautious approach to every step we take regarding release of any material out of the centre. The material that is found online right now on the centre's database is largely already available in other public sources. We've just made it more accessible, bet

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Our current centre is a beautiful space. It's about 8,600 square feet. It's an old home. We see ourselves growing out of it quite soon, and we have an active fundraising campaign that has already been launched, through the University of Manitoba's front and centre campaign, to bu

May 3rd, 2016Committee meeting

Ry Moran

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  We've constantly been in the challenging position that we only really know what we've received, and we only really know what we've been allowed to see. We have received a fairly significant production of materials related to the OPP investigations. Off the top of my head, and thi

Ry Moran

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  That's correct. We do have unredacted versions. All of the document production that happened for the TRC was in unredacted form, which truthfully, places a lot of responsibility on us, again, to manage that highly sensitive personal information. We needed unredacted documents so

Ry Moran

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  The issue that's in front of the courts right now has narrowed the question around IAP document preservation for the purposes of the historical record to three general categories of records: survivor statements/transcripts, applications, and then adjudicators' decisions. There ar

Ry Moran

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  It should not be...under this decision.... That should be a different sort of line of preservation, and should fall under standard government record-keeping process and procedure.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  We have not received updated school narratives in recent production, no.

May 3rd, 2016Committee meeting

Ry Moran

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  I think that is a fundamental question. One, we have to think about things just in the basic public interest. The IAP process has been a massive disbursement of public funds, and it has been a massive process of justice and alternate dispute resolution that's happened in this cou
