Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
2nd Session
42nd Parliament
A
Opposition
house
leader,
thank
you,
mr
speaker,
and
thank
you
for
the
words
from
the
minister
of
state
as
well,
and
certainly
as
we
as
we
approach
indigenous
day
on
on
monday
and
reflecting
on
what
the
discovery
encounters
of
the
215
lost
children,
what
it
has
done
for
us
as
a
community
as
a
nation
in
terms
of
a
conversation
around
reconciliation
and
how
serious
it
is
that
we
all
move
forward
in
a
good
way
in
a
in
a
meaningful
way.
A
Certainly,
the
events
that
have
led
to
the
lower
post
being
able
to
find
the
support
from
governments.
Finally,
federal
and
provincial
for
the
removal
of
their
school
at
their
asking
is
a
very
important
step.
And
we
all
know
that
first
nations
have
a
very
complicated
history
with
the
residential
school
system.
And
I
say
that
because
there
are
some
nations
that
have
chosen
not
to
remove
their
schools.
So
we
cannot
just
assume
that
all
schools
need
to
be
removed.
A
But
we
need
to
be
working
in
a
much
quicker
fashion
to
support
across
jurisdictions,
federal
and
provincial,
to
support
those
nations
that
do
choose
to
remove
these
buildings
that
have
inflicted
so
much.
Generational
pain
amongst
their
people
because
it
shouldn't
take
decades
to
help
facilitate
and
move
forward
with
something
like
this.
A
It
shouldn't
take
decades
frankly
to
make
sure
there's
clean
drinking
water,
and
so,
if
we
are
going
to
be
truly
meaningfully
engaging
in
reconciliation,
we
need
to
be
taking
the
requests
in
the
ass
moving
forward
from
these
indigenous
nations
quite
seriously
and
actually
find
ways
to
action
them.
The
lower
post
removal
is
a
good
step
in
that
direction,
and
it
makes
us
all
happy
to
know
that
that
will
finally
happen
at
the
direction
of
the
leadership
up
in
lower
post.
