Member’s Statement on Residential School and Orange Shirts

Daniel McNeely

Sahtu

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today I wear the orange shirt in recognition of residential school, a traumatized history for the First Peoples of Canada. Being a residential school survivor, looking back to the days on boarding a De Havilland airplane in September and returning in June, it's an experience I would rather not at any choice force on today’s children.

Advancing forward as said by Senator Murray Sinclair, Chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission or TRC when asked, “Why don't we forget and move on?” Replied by saying, “Why don't we forget 9/11 or the veterans of World War 2?”

Mr. Speaker, preserving our history is incumbent upon us as we move forward with Canada 150. In our jurisdiction, show of preservation history is what the Department of Education, Culture and Employment is pro-actively doing by including TRC in the curricular system. I commemorate the ones that have passed on and left us. Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.
