June 20, 2012 — Ms. Bennett (St. Pauls) – That this House agrees with the findings of the Interim Report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission that, “Canadians have been denied a full and proper education as to the nature of Aboriginal societies, and the history of the relationship between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples”; that this House believes that the federal government must take an active role in promoting awareness and public education to Canadians about this history generally and the residential school system and its impacts on Aboriginal Canadians specifically; that this House call on this government to consult with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and First Nations, Inuit and Métis Canadians to implement a federal funding program for public-education campaigns, and the development of curricula, to inform the general public about the key role the First Peoples have played in our shared history; that these campaigns or curricula specifically deal with the tragic impact of the residential school system on both Aboriginal culture and current social challenges; that provincial, territorial and Aboriginal governments, as well as other non-profit and community-based organizations, will have access to this program to educate non-Aboriginals about these important issues.
