The NDP Opposition is calling on the Wall government to finally make good on a promise to apologize for Saskatchewan’s role in the Sixties Scoop.
It follows an Ontario court ruling in favour of Sixties Scoop survivors that recognized the federal government’s failure to provide proper care for children.
During the Sixties Scoop, First Nations and Metis children were taken from their parents without consent and placed in non-Aboriginal households.
Parents were typically not told where their children were.
In an email to MBC, the government says it remains committed to a formal apology, and is continuing to work on finding a date that will work for all parties.
