Mr. Speaker, the residential school has been a very tough issue for a lot of communities. The residential school has also contributed to a lot of violence, a lot of addictions and a lot of different forms of abuses in our communities. As a matter of fact, Mr. Speaker, in 1998, when I did some of my training, a consultant from Santa Cruz, California, said to me that the residential school was a real festering ground for
these kinds of things to happen in the communities. I didn’t understand what he said, not until today.
Mr. Speaker, we know personally that some of these survivors are in jails; they are inmates at the correctional centres. I want to ask the Premier how will he allow the inmates to have the opportunity to participate at this Truth and Reconciliation process. Thank you.
