Further action is required to address the matter, Mr. Singh said. He added that many had hoped Mr. Trudeau would do more on the issue of reconciliation in government, including on eliminating all drinking-water advisories for First Nations, as promised, and holding people responsible for crimes at residential schools.
He said he has previously met with Mr. Delorme. “I admire his leadership,” he said, citing Mr. Delorme’s work on child welfare and healing. “Mr. Trudeau, I know, cares, but he never acts. With a Conservative government, we will have more than just words.
The NDP has called for the appointment of a special prosecutor to probe crimes against Indigenous students who attended the schools. Arlen Dumas, Grand Chief of the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs; Cindy Woodhouse, the Manitoba regional chief of the Assembly of First Nations; and Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak Grand Chief Garrison Settee all met with the Liberal Leader on his campaign bus.
Get this guy oughtta here! Mr Phoney Bologna
So why isn’t this being highly criticized like the teddy bear pic? Comments anyone?
Opportunist
theJagmeetSingh kneeling at a grave. Canadian media/trolls do your thing. Oh it’s somehow different when Jagmeet does it 🙃
I trust First Nations ongoing burial ground searches will take care of that.
Shameless politicians..
The bottom line: he is using a national tragedy for political gain. Photo op at a burial ground.
Let me guess. Jagmeet also suggested a new tax or an increase in existing taxes would solve the problem.
What? No teddy bear?
