Comments by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau indicating the federal government has sent all records on residential schools to the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation are “not accurate,” according to a statement from the centre.

During a visit to Tk’emlúps te Secwe̓pemc on Monday, Trudeau told a news conference that his government has turned over all documents related to residential schools, including the former Kamloops Indian Residential School, to the Winnipeg-based centre, which aims to chronicle the history of residential schools and preserve the stories of residential school survivors.

In a statement issued Tuesday, the centre said Trudeau’s statement “is not accurate.”

“At present, we are still waiting for Canada to provide the final versions of school narratives and supporting documents used in the Independent Assessment Process to the NCTR. The NCTR has various school narratives on its website, but some are out of date. For other schools, no narrative has ever been provided to the NCTR.
