  • Bill C-29 is finally in discussion. But a National Council of Reconciliation, set up as a non-profit, will lack the teeth to demand accountability.

Reconciliation is Canada’s moral obligation, a necessary process that must be accountable to citizens, enforceable through public accountability, writes Rose LeMay.
