Amid calls for accountability and to go beyond lowering flags at federal buildings, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh will be requesting the House of Commons hold an emergency debate after the discovery of remains of 215 children at the site of a former residential school in Kamloops, B.C.

On May 28, the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation announced that it had found the remains at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School, using ground-penetrating radar. The horrific discovery prompted calls for a national day of mourning and saw people across Canada set up memorials.

Singh will be making the request on Monday after question period and it will be up to Speaker Anthony Rota to determine whether the emergency debate will be held, and when. “As Parliament resumes from its weekend break it is imperative that an opportunity be provided to Parliamentarians to discuss this colonial genocide. Important questions deserve to be asked about this and other schools, and immediate concrete measures need to be taken as a way to seek justice and uphold the rule of law,” said Singh.

How about an emergency criminal investigation? No statute of limitations on causing death

Debate? Not the proper forum for this topic. Don't use this as a political agenda

Emergency debate? It happened 40+ years ago.

Emergency? It's horrific and sad, but it's not an emergency.

This is a crime involving some very shocking people. Hope the truth fully comes out. Canadians will be one people again. Time to stop letting the assassins divide us.

Amongst all current news, we cannot dilute the possibility of mass graves being in Ontario at residential schools! We must find all of the children who died at the hands of our ancestors! FindTheGraves FindTheChildren everychildmatters

'We do not want this to be hidden': Remains of 215 children discovered on site of former residential schoolFollowing the discovery of the remains of 215 children buried at a former residential school in Kamloops, B.C., one of the institution’s survivors shares his memories of schoolmates disappearing and never being seen again during his time there. Shut up and move along, there is nothing to see here. It's only a normal White people habit of eliminating the Indigenous people. It's nothing new. battisctv Another government requested report in 2015, that cost so much money, with recommendations not acted upon. There were reasons for these reports! I’m so fed up with all the inaction and negligence 😡😡. Why bother? Oh yeah right… optics. Makes Govts look like they care. So very sad, unfortunate & senseless indeed. This was genocide? Sincere condolences to family & friends who have lost loved ones ... 😔 🌈
