Synopsis
On the Show: Murray Sinclair, Jim Watson, Catherine McKenna, Will Stewart, Supriya Dwivedi After six years, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission has published its final report.It rips off the blinders the country has on residential schools and it’s a shocking series of revelations—systematic neglect, abuse, death—all well known by and supported by the political leadership. Commission chairman Justice Murray Sinclair gives the details. Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson says he's optimistic about his relationship with the new Liberal federal government because trying to get a meeting with the previous Conservative government was like "pulling teeth," he says. Environment Minister Catherine McKenna, who just returned from Paris with a climate change agreement in hand, says the targets set there are the floor, not the ceiling. In the War Room, Will Stewart of Ensight and Supriya Dwivedi of Crestview Strategy give their top three issues to watch for in 2016.
