But when survivors testified, they were not asked what they would like to do with their records, nor was the government planning to use their evidence to further investigate crimes committed at the schools, said Murray.

“It wasn’t their mandate,” she said. “They were a compensation scheme.”

Lazy Canadian juridical law and colonial ignorance at work again.

Jfc. :/

Using Jfc in response to this is wrong, as it was the church on behalf of “jesus” or “christ” who did all this damage to the peoples affected. I know it is a saying that has been engrained into us. In no way am I saying “Don’t use the Lords Name in vein,” Jesus can go fuck himself for all I care. The church is dangerous that even using their messiah’s name as a curse can be insensitive in places.
