Globe says CNR accused of all talk on reconciliation

2023-12-13 07:52 ET - In the News

The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that the head of CN Rail's council of indigenous advisers says the group quit after it became apparent the company had no intention of taking the proper steps to repair its relationship with first nations. The Globe's Eric Atkins says the 12-member body, CN's Indigenous Advisory Council, announced its resignation on Monday, after failing to convince the Montreal-based railway to apologize and take other measures to address its roles in colonization and residential schools, Roberta Jamieson, co-chair of the group, told The Globe. "As a result of the history, CN and other rail companies continue to enjoy the benefit of what happened. Whereas our people continue to endure the loss," Ms. Jamieson said. The group has recently submitted two reports to the company containing advice that was not acted upon, added Ms. Jamieson, who is Mohawk, and was the first indigenous woman in Canada to earn a law degree. "We were very concerned that to continue our work any longer ... would really mislead indigenous peoples in particular and Canadians generally as to the sincerity [and] authenticity that CN has," she said. CN formed the council in 2021. CN declined an interview request.
