PM TO APOLOGIZE TO NL RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL SURVIVORS
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will apologize today for abuse at residential schools in Newfoundland and Labrador. Students from five schools were left out of a 2008 compensation deal but the Trudeau government offered to settle a class-action suit last year. However, a lawyer for the students says an apology was the most important thing for many of his clients. Innu leaders will boycott today’s event and won’t accept the apology, saying Innu children suffered in other places besides residential schools.
