He said he hopes the party takes the next six to nine months to conduct an internal review, asking itself “who we are and what kind of party do we want to be moving forward.” As expected, B.C. Liberal Leader Andrew Wilkinson announced on Monday (Oct. 26) that he will be stepping down as party leader following Saturday’s loss in the provincial election.
There are many questions that need to be answered in the wake of the recent media accounts surrounding the discovery of abandoned cemeteries in Kamloops, British Columbia and at the former Marieval Indian Residential School site in Saskatchewan.
The Liberal government ignored the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s 2015 (TRC) Report.

Sobering too, is the Report prepared for the TRC by anthropologist, Dr. Scott Hamilton who was retained by the Commission to address the issue of the cemeteries (WHERE ARE THE CHILDREN BURIED?). Both documents have been in the public domain since 2015 when the TRC Report was released.
