When the final report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission was presented in Parliament in June 2015, the Commission said the residential school system was a form of cultural genocide. The Canadian government did not take that recognition any further. However, on October 27 this year, a motion calling on the government to recognize Canada's Indian residential schools as genocide passed unanimously in the House of Commons. We speak with Leah Gazan, NDP MP for Winnipeg Centre, who introduced the motion.
