Justin Trudeau has spoken out about the discovery of 751 unmarked graves at a former residential school on the Cowessess First Nation.

The Prime Minister says he spoke with chief Cadmus Delorme yesterday, and offered all of the federal government’s continued support, not just with supporting the communities that continue to grieve but also on the work of helping them heal.

As part of that, Trudeau committed $5 million to the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations to search for burial sites.
