MPs from all parties have joined New Democrats in calling on the federal government to drop its legal battles against a pair of rulings involving First Nations children. The motion came in response to last month's news that ground-penetrating radar detected what are believed to be the remains of 215 children at a former residential school in Kamloops, B.C. Singh said before the vote the Liberal government should "stop fighting Indigenous kids in court" and "truly walk the path of reconciliation." 'They should be championing this motion': BlackstockTrudeau suggested last week that compensation should be proportional to the trauma. The Indian Residential Schools Resolution Health Support Program has a hotline to help residential school survivors and their relatives suffering with trauma invoked by the recall of past abuse.
