Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I, too, rise to speak on the motion. I, too, am a survivor of the residential school system, and it's something like this that will bring recognition in our North to this very, very sensitive issue that still hasn't been resolved. I just might add that, Mr. Speaker, it still hasn't been resolved, and there are still lots of issues to be uncovered here, and dealt with throughout the North. I believe that a day of recognition, on an annual basis, will be something that, throughout the North, we can look to this day.
What I've been finding, Mr. Speaker, is that in our communities we have children who are behaving as if they actually went to residential school, when, in fact, they didn't. So it's a systemic thing. A lot of behaviour is because the parents went to residential school, and it's a huge thing, and we're still dealing with it. We're still learning how to combat it, and, indeed, how to restore a lot of the values that were taken from aboriginal people who did go to residential schools. I believe that this recognition of May 26th is a good thing for all of us, as northerners, to recognize that, indeed, it is part of our history and it is not to be forgotten. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
