In Canada, NDP MP Leah Gazan has proposed a bill to criminalize residential school denialism, which distorts the history of abuse suffered by Indigenous children. The bill would make it illegal to promote hatred against Indigenous Peoples by denying or justifying the residential school system, with penalties of up to two years in prison.
