Apparently it was in the Truth and Reconciliation Report but was either not read or ignored.
your statement... is vague and lacks specifics/details. In any case, in 2019, the Liberal government allocated ~$34 million toward projects intended to research the children who died at residential schools; a key example being an extension outcome of the TRC - the 'Missing Children Project', with funding towards such things as an online registry of the dead, documenting known cemeteries, etc.. Given the Kamloops discovery, the remaining ($27 million) funds from that initial allocation have since been targeted on an urgent basis to, "
support Indigenous led, community based, survivor centric and culturally sensitive investigations of burial sites"... with the federal government, "
actively reaching out to Indigenous communities to work with them on how they can access the $27 million of funding being delivered to support them."
The Kamloops search was funded by a provincial grant.
the majority funding was provincial; however, there was also federal monies involved.
