Statement by Official Opposition Critic for Truth and Reconciliation, First Nations and Métis Relations, Betty Nippi-Albright

“Our hearts are heavy at the discovery of a mass grave containing the bodies of 215 children at the site of a former residential school in British Columbia. The legacy of the residential school system lives with us to this day.

The Official Opposition joins the call of the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN) for all parties and all levels of government to work with FSIN and ensure that a full radar ground search is done in Saskatchewan and across Canada.

So many children never returned home. The heartbreak is unimaginable. We encourage everyone in Saskatchewan to read and commit to the Truth and Reconciliation Commisson’s calls to action.”
