L'Essentiel: The Week In Review – June 4, 2021
The shock wave continues to be felt following the discovery of the remains of 215 Indigenous children in British Columbia, near a former residential school. The Chief of the Assembly of First Nations of Quebec and Labrador, Ghislain Picard, tells us about the consequences of this discovery for the First Nations and the future excavations to come. Ottawa will provide a $ 27 million grant to support Indigenous communities who wish to initiate research around the sites that once housed residential schools to identify the remains of deceased residents. What should Ottawa do on this file? We are debating it with MPs Greg Fergus (LIB), Jacques Gourde (PCC), Simon-Pierre Savard-Tremblay (BQ) and Alexandre Boulerice (NDP). Tragic discovery of the remains of 215 Indigenous children, action plan for the Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Air Canada, and $ 20 million bonuses to four senior leaders… Journalists Althia Raj, Joël-Denis Bellavance ( La Presse) and Konrad Yakabuski (Le Devoir) analyze the political issues of the week.
