Marc Miller also says there's no evidence the Liberal cabinet, including former justice minister Jody Wilson-Raybould, was told of a 2015 decision to drop a court case that freed the Catholic Church from compensating survivors.
Among the missing records, it said, were what's known as school narratives -- reports compiled by Ottawa outlining an individual institution's history, including its administration, statistics on the number of Indigenous children forced to attend, as well as key events such as reports of abuse. The minister says the reports will be provided to the centre within 30 days, and the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops has been notified.
That years-old deal has been called into question after First Nations confirmed the discoveries of unmarked graves at former school sites, which led survivors, Indigenous leaders and non-Indigenous Canadians to renew calls for the Catholic Church to provide reparations. One month later, Ottawa gave notice it would appeal. But when that appeal was filed, the country was gripped by a federal election campaign, which ended that October with Trudeau's Liberals ousting Harper in a majority win.
This guy's about as believeble as Baghdad Bob
should be interesting times if turns out jwr knew about this and didnt say anything . we already know she ignored evidence a innocent person was in jail .
No doubt someone..somewhere in Liberal Party knew.But no documentation. Increasingly it is obvious the ' whatever' style of handling First Nations issues go back decades( including present Liberals). was the attitude.Not important enough to even keep accurate records?
