It is the only recommendation from the TRC s list that would specifically involve the participation of the Crown, as represented by the governor general.
Michael Jackson, president of the Institute for the Study of the Crown in Canada, says he believes such a proclamation would be a positive step in building a new relationship and working toward reconciliation.
The announcement Tuesday that Mary Simon, an Inuk leader and former diplomat, will be Canada s next governor general provides a unique opportunity to gather together Indigenous leaders make the Crown a place for greater open dialogue and bridge-building, Jackson said.
But Prime Minister Justin Trudeau would not commit to the royal proclamation when asked in Calgary during a news conference Wednesday, saying only that his government is moving forward on all 94 calls to action.
