Prime Minister Justin Trudeau released a statement earlier in the day on Thursday, June 24. Trudeau said he was saddened to learn about the discovery. "My heart breaks for the Cowessess First Nation, and for all Indigenous communities across Canada," he wrote.
Trudeau's statement concluded with a pledge to "acknowledge this truth, learn from our past, and walk the shared path of reconciliation, so we can build a better future." Judging by Singh's message, he did not find the statement to be sufficient.
