Canada: How much progress has Trudeau actually made on Truth and Reconciliation promises to Indigenous people? (Opinion)

Canada: How much progress has Trudeau actually made on Truth and Reconciliation promises to Indigenous people? (Opinion)
Vice – January 25, 2017
In December, one year after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised to fully implement recommendations from the Truth and Reconciliation commission, he proclaimed that work is underway on 41 of 45 “calls to action” intended to address a legacy of abuse of Indigenous peoples in Canada. VICE News spent over a month trying to get details on what progress, exactly, has been made. At first, the government stalled. Ultimately, it declined to make the whole list public.
