Mr. Speaker, it has been one year since the date of the discovery of the remains of 215 indigenous children at the Kamloops residential institution, but not even this shocked the government into action. The Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations has admitted it has been too slow. This is a pattern. On clean drinking water, the housing crisis and the calls to justice, it has been too slow. Enough is enough. One year ago, the government blocked my motion calling for support for communities, including bringing in international experts, such as the International Commission on Missing Persons. When will the government do what is needed to help communities bring their children home?
