Prime minister’s comments come day after RCMP head issued statement of regret
The prime minister said there should be a public apology for a spying operation targeting hundreds of Indigenous people that had the support of the federal government.
Yes, there should be an apology, Mark Carney said during a news conference in Halifax on Thursday. It’s a reprehensible practice. Never should’ve happened.
Carney was responding to reporting from CBC Indigenous (new window), which revealed extensive RCMP surveillance activities dating back to the late 1960s against Indigenous leaders and organizations.
