Right before the House of Commons breaks for summer, the Liberal government will introduce a new bill tackling hate speech, which could bring back a controversial law under the Canadian Human Rights Act.

SASKATOON The Senate on Thursday unanimously passed a bill to create a statutory holiday for truth and reconciliation across Canada. Under Bill C-5, the Government of Canada is now recognizing Sept. 30 as the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, dedicated to remembering and honouring victims of residential schools and their families. The bill aims to build on Orange Shirt Day, which was created to create meaningful discussion about the legacy of residential schools. Marina Gardypie was seven years old when she was taken to the Duck Lake, Sask. residential school in the 1950s. While Bill C-5 is a “baby step” to recognizing residential school trauma, Gardypie said she was frustrated when it was initially introduced.
