Summary
The Senate just rejected a major amendment to Bill C-9 that would’ve made denying the existence or impact of residential schools a criminal offense — a move seen as vital by survivors and Indigenous communities seeking validation and truth. While free speech concerns played a role, the vote underscores the deep emotional stakes tied to historical memory. This isn’t the end of the conversation — just a pivot toward finding other ways to confront denial and honor the past, reminding us that language shapes how we remember — and how we heal.
