So, that's why it's unacceptable," Saganash said in an interview with CBC News outside the House of Commons."I think she should resign, because we don't need those kinds of people either in Parliament or the Senate," Saganash said."If one reads the definition of genocide under the UN convention, it's pretty clear to that effect that forcibly removing children constitutes genocide, OK? That's the gravity of the comment in my view."He implored Beyak to read the findings of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), which document the atrocities that tens of thousands of children faced. (The United Nations considers abduction and disappearances as one of the "elements" of the crime of genocide.)Beyak has declined requests for an interview or comment.As reported Wednesday by CBC News, Beyak told colleagues in the Red Chamber Tuesday that she wished the commission's report, which conducted an exhaustive six year study of the system, had focused "on the good" aspects of the schools rather than the atrocities children faced.She said "good deeds" and the "remarkable works" of teachers and administrators have largely gone unacknowledged, noting many Indigenous peoples still retain copy van cleef alhambra mother of pearl necklace the Christian faith they learned while attending these institutions. While some abuse took place, those who ran the schools "didn't mean to hurt anybody.""Mistakes were made at residential schools in many instances, horrible mistakes that overshadowed some good things that also happened at those schools," she said.Assembly of First Nations National Chief Perry Bellegarde says he's disappointed a Conservative senator is peddling this view."Along with rampant physical, sexual and mental abuse, about 6,000 children died while in care," he said."The residential schools were profoundly damaging to First Nations. Children were forcibly taken from their families and homes for the express purpose of trying to eradicate our languages and our identities. This was an attempt at genocide," Bellegarde said.Indigenous Affairs Minister Carolyn Bennett said Beyak's comments "underscore the need for better education so van cleef necklace butterfly knock off that all Canadians can work together to advance the shared journey to reconciliation."Tory senator wants focus on 'good' done by residential schools94 ways to redress the legacy of residential schoolsAt least 6,000 kids died in residential schools, TRC chair saysCathy McLeod, the Tory Indigenous affairs critic, said Beyak's remarks are not reflective of the larger Conservative Party, as it was former prime minister Stephen Harper who formally apologized for the role the federal government played in administering the system.
