اعتذار رسمي من الحكومة الكندية للسكان الأصليين

عن الانتهاكات التي تمت بحقهم في الريسيدنشال سكولز
Stephen Harper stood in the House of Commons on Wednesday to say sorry to former students of native residential schools — in the first formal apology from a Canadian prime minister over the federally financed program.
"Mr. Speaker, I stand before you today to offer an apology to former students of Indian residential schools," Harper said in Ottawa, surrounded by a small group of aboriginal leaders and former students, some of whom wept as he spoke.
"The treatment of children in Indian residential schools is a sad chapter in our history.
"Today, we recognize that this policy of assimilation was wrong, has caused great harm, and has no place in our country," he said to applause.
