Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canada Day should be a time of reflection following the discovery of 751 unmarked graves in Saskatchewan.
Trudeau says no words can right these wrongs in regards to the discovery at a former residential school.
He says he spoke with the Chief of the Cowesses First Nation and he offered federal resources as the search continues for remains and unmarked graves.
Trudeau says Canadians are horrified and ashamed of how our country behaved and he says he’s sorry to the Indigenous Peoples impacted.
