The Globe and Mail: Special interlocutor says she received abuse, threats during work on residential schools

Conservative Crown-Indigenous relations critic Jamie Schmale has said his party is closely examining Ms. Gazan’s bill and that it will participate in debates in the House of Commons. He also said in a Tuesday statement that the party is reviewing Ms. Murray’s findings.

Dr. Sean Carleton, a historian and Indigenous studies scholar from the University of Manitoba, said Ms. Murray’s report highlights a tool kit for truth and reconciliation that could help Canadians.

Criminalizing residential school denialism as a hate crime is an example of one of those tools, he said. Canadians have a long history of ignoring the truth, he added, suggesting that reports such as the one produced by Ms. Murray are invitations to change a pattern of behaviour.
