Do better, don't release a fluffy document with a we're going to do stuff, but have no budget or dates or plans. STUFF is not enough. We've seen STUFF from this government in terms of the abuse of woman in the military, in terms of mecury poisoning in terms of clean drinking water.
Virtue signaling and pious apologies and pretend action plans that wait another 4 or 5 or 6 years ain't going to do it anymore.
Oh and on top of that, and this is from a lapsed Catholic, if the Pope doesn't roll out an apology and a action plan with compensation, look into removing the Churh's tax free status.
I haven't commented in this thread, because what am I going to say or argue? Its gross and disgusting, and its hard to believe that this was allowed to continue into the 70's. What's wrong with these people. Figure it out. Do something. Stop pointing at a paper and yelling "LOOK STUFF", and thinking that it means anything other then being a slap in the face

There should be no tax exemptions for religious entities at all, ever, for any reason.
As for the talk over action: I wonder what the voting blocs are that are resistant to the action. The Liberals have always tread carefully with this stuff, mixed in with some incompetence of course. So what is causing them to treat this issue so carefully.
Compensation is a tricky question. Do you mean financial compensation? If that's the case, then this is a difficult topic. FN people/leaders have maintained that there is no price to be paid that is sufficient for injustices. There is an unwillingness to treat this like, say, an insurance company treats someone who loses a finger or suffers a death...they attach specific dollar values to those. This is why reparations are so difficult to do - without treating them as an endpoint, they do not accomplish their goal.
