4. This is a new discovery in a different province.

Every former residential school in every province is being investigated. And the ones who survived their time at these schools are now having their stories heard. Most of the stories are filled with episodes of beatings, bad (or not enough) food, nasty punishments etc.

When will the Roman Catholic Church ever be brought to account?
