We are not interested in apologies that don't lead to institutional and widespread change," read a statement released Thursday. 1:08Trudeau told reporters Wednesday he was "looking forward" to visiting Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc in person very soon. The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation was created through a law proposed and passed by the Liberal government in June. Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc Nation also repeated its call on the federal government and the Catholic Church to release attendance records of all students forced to attend the Kamloops Indian Residential School.
