53. “We call upon the parliament of Canada, in consultation and collaborative with Aboriginal Peoples, to enact legislation to establish A National Council for Reconciliation”
What this means: We want the government to acknowledge that there are issues that still require reconciliation and in order to ensure that this requirement is fulfilled, a National Council must be established. This will ensure that the public and the people will have a transparent view on the process and therefore, be assured that proper action is carried out.
