That is my tax dollars hard at work right there. Instead of being thankful that the government is finally stepping up and apologizing the Liberals want to turn it into an open discussion on how the Aboriginals have been oppressed.
Old guy on CBC just mentioned that the Liberal-controlled Senate has (or is expected to) pass a motion to sit in Committee of the Whole tomorrow and invite First Nations leaders to respond to today's apology.
