Primary legal sources for the TRCC’s Final Report

Background

Two chapters of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRCC)’s Final Report are concerned with the history of Indian Residential Schools and how the courts afforded some Survivors access to justice:

  • “Abuse: 1940-2000,” Chaper 41, Volume 1, Part 2, pp. 399-451.
  • “Getting to the Settlement Agreement,” Chapter 45, Volume 1, Part 2, pp. 551-579.

A third chapter considered this history through a “denial of justice” lens and discusses how the Canadian justice system continues to discriminate against Aboriginal persons:

  • “A denial of justice,” Chapter 5, Volume 5, pp. 185-276.

Of the TRCC’s 94 Calls to Action to redress the legacy of residential schools and advance the process of Canadian reconciliation, 18 Calls relate to matters of justice.1“Calls to Action,” Volume 5, pp. 284-295.

The TRCC’s Final Report cites dozens of primary legal sources (statutes and regulations, legal cases, and legal documents) to support its findings.
