- Notes
- "Canadian Anglican leaders have upbraided Conservative Senator Lynn Beyak Beyak for her assertion that the report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) was overly negative in its representation of the Indian residential school system. In an open letter published March 20 [2017], Archbishop Fred Hiltz, primate of the Anglican Church of Canada, National Indigenous Anglican Bishop Mark MacDonald and General Secretary Archdeacon Michael Thompson said they were 'dismayed' by Beyak's comments, and stated there was 'nothing good' about the residential schools". "Beyak has stood by her comments, saying she will neither resign from the committee nor give up her seat in the Senate".
