   Not so fast. 'Criminal' means proof. Proof means looking at the victims'   
   bodies. Looking at the victims' bodies means exhuming them - not just telling   
   stories about them. That exhuming is just not happening . . . . Why?

   Trudeau says he would support a criminal investigation into residential schools   
      
   Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said that he would support a criminal   
   investigation into the recent discovery of hundreds of unmarked burial sites   
   at residential schools across Canada amid growing pressure on the government   
   from the Indigenous    
   communities.   
      
   In an exclusive interview with Global News on Monday, Trudeau said while he   
   was supportive of a criminal probe, it was not up to him, but the prosecutors   
   and police to call for one.   
   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^   
      
   “I will support anything that families need to move forward, for Canadians   
   to understand the truth and to actually move forward on reconciliation,”   
   said Trudeau in a one-on-one interview with Global News’ Farah Nasser in   
   Brampton, Ont.   
      
   In recent weeks, preliminary archaeological surveys using ground-penetrating   
   radar at the sites of several former residential schools in British Columbia   
   and Saskatchewan have uncovered the locations of what are believed to be   
   unmarked burial sites    
   containing the remains of more than 1,000 Indigenous children forced to attend   
   the schools.   
      
   Trudeau said this was a “moment of awakening” for Canadians. ◭,◭   
      
   Thousands of Indigenous children went missing or died while attending the   
   schools, which were run by the federal government and Christian churches as   
   part of a systemic effort to assimilate them.   
      
   “We’ve known about them for generations and Indigenous peoples have known   
   about them for generations,” Trudeau said.   
      
   The most recent discovery was last week on the grounds of the former Kuper   
   Island Indian Industrial School, which was located on what is now known as   
   Penelakut Island between Vancouver Island and mainland B.C.   
      
   In May, the remains of what’s believed to be 215 [revised to 200] children   
   were found at the site of what was once the Kamloops Residential School in   
   B.C. That was followed in June by unveilings of hundreds of remains in   
   Brandon, Man., Saskatchewan’s    
   Cowessess First Nation and Cranbrook, B.C.   
      
   Some 150,000 First Nations, Metis and Inuit children were forcibly sent to   
   residential schools between 1860s and 1996, where many suffered abuse.   
      
   Ongoing research by the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation details   
   mistreatment at the schools, including the emotional, physical and sexual   
   abuse of children and at least 4,100 deaths in the schools amid neglect.   
      
   While the Trudeau government from its inception in 2015 promised it would   
   implement every last one of the 94 Calls to Action (CTA), the only one of the   
   six involving missing children and burials that has been completed is number   
   72 — the student    
   memorial register.   
      
   Trudeau said everyone had a role to play when it comes to reconciliation, not   
   just the Indigenous people and the government.
