Niki Ashton Demanding Independent Oversight for Residential School Searches

During question period yesterday our MP Niki Ashton accused the federal Liberals of refusing to help first nations uncover mass graves at former residential schools in Canada and for not listening to the demands to have the International Commission on missing persons assist.

 

The Liberal Minister of Crown Indigenous Relations Carolyn Bennett says all Canadians were heartbroken when they learned of the discovery of a mass grave of children discovered at the former residential school in Kamloops BC and they are working with the community to provide all the resources and supports needed.

 

Bennett added that they are reaching out to all indigenous communities across Canada to help them to find their lost children, how to heal, and how they can access the 27 million dollars of funding being offered on an urgent basis.
