Manny Jules was a day student at the Kamloops Indian Residential School in the 1960s. Jules echoed that finding, calling the residential school system "a criminal act bordering on genocide that was perpetrated on little children, defenceless children." He said his parents were at the Kamloops school in the 1940s, where his mother Delores Jules "lived in fear." She pointed to the 2019 budget, which announced $33.8 million to develop and maintain the national residential school student death register and set up an online registry of residential school cemeteries. A national Indian Residential School Crisis Line has been set up to provide support for former students and those affected.
