We demand the resignation of Senator Lynn Beyak and issuance of a formal apology.

Dreadul. Out now.

No room for what she said in the Senate

Shame on her and her ignorance

So ignorant... wish these types of people could walk a mile in our moccasins!!

Senator Beyak's comment show an appalling lack of understanding of the history of the attempted genocide of indigenous people in Canada. No one who holds these sorts of racist views should be sitting in on the Senate Aboriginal People Committee, let alone in the Senate itself.

We need forward thinking people who are open to reconciliation between Canadians and First Nations people. There is no room for Beyak's ignorant attempt to minimize the atrocities of residential school.

Disgusting holier than thou christian wannabe

Someone who never attended a residential school can not speak to any "good" that may have come out of it. She is insensitive, white privilege and should not be allowed to continue with this position. She has done enough harm and shouldn't be given the opportunity to do more.

As a Metis who's ancestors where in residential schools I sign this petition for them !

Shocking, shameful comments. She has no place in Canadian governance.

I support this petition

Get her out!

Arrogance and ignorance Educate yourself and resign!!

Her comments are completely inappropriate

She has to go.

She should be fired immediately and given no pension. She is racist and uneducated about the genocide in residential schools. Shame on Canada.

She needs to learn and accept the truth. No place for this level of ignorance serving on behalf of indigenous relations. No trust here.

Your comments make me embarrassed to be white. Your representation of white Canadian women is appalling and makes me feel sick. Step down and shut up.

Unqualified embarrassment

This person must be removed for her uneducated views on Indigenous peoples.
