Today is the 10th anniversary of Parliament's passing Shannen's Dream. Shannen Koostachin had never seen a real school. At 13 she stood up to the government and launched the largest youth-driven rights movement in Canadian history. Every child deserves a safe and comfy school.

This was one of the most powerful speeches I ever heard in Parliament. @RomeoSaganash called out the truth of the First nation children who never came home. This nation needs to deal with the crimes that were committed.
