NO defense for white washing a recognized "cultural genocide", especially when holding a position of privileged power AND personally positioning herself as a supportive descendant of the perpetrators of the atrocities. Disgusting ignorance.

She is not equipped to hold her position, given her ignorance and lack of understanding on important Indigenous issues.

Has the TRC taught us nothing? This shouldn't even be an issue anymore! No one in government should be denying or diminishing the suffering that children suffered in residential schools.

She is shameless. She should just and visit First Nation sisters and brothers to come to her senses.

I live in Northwestern Ontario and find Lynn Beyak's comments offensive, ill-informed, offensive and not representative of our region. She must step down.

Her comments show a profound ignorance of the issues and disrespect for First Nations people. She does not represent the views of northwestern Ontario.

No excuse for denial of genocide. Apologize, educate or resign.
