Trudeau JR is big on symbolic gestures that don't have do anything concrete. Pope please apologize for the residential schools while I order a study on murdered & missing aboriginal women...meanwhile studies & apologies don't feed mouths. Thing is, these types of things create good will but have little or no political or economic cost so it's easy to do & makes you look good.
Indigenous people are the ones asking for the apology and the inquiry. It obviously means a lot to them.
