E-petition
Initiated by Paul Daigneault from Prince Albert, Saskatchewan
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the Government of Canada
Whereas:
- The federal government is responsible for all Aboriginal (Indians) peoples under section 91(24) of the Constitution Act, 1867 and must therefore act in the best interests of all Aboriginal peoples;
- The federal government has dealt with First Nations and Inuit peoples through the 2006 Indian Residential School Settlement Agreement, and excluded Métis residential schools; and
- The Roman Catholic Church, under the authority of the federal government, established a residential/boarding school at Île-à-la Crosse, Saskatchewan in or around 1860.
We, the undersigned, survivors of the Île-à-la-Crosse Residential/Boarding School, call upon the Government of Canada to accept its responsibility to deal with us according to its constitutional responsibility and enter into a settlement agreement with the former students of the Île-à-la Crosse Residential/Boarding School as it has for other Aboriginal peoples.
