BC MLA questions treatment of lawyer who challenged indigenous claims on residential school site.

British Columbia MLA Dallas Brodie is questioning the treatment of lawyer James Heller, who sued the Law Society of British Columbia over what he claims are "false and defamatory" accusations of racism after requesting changes to residential school training material. Brodie has raised concerns about the "apparent mistreatment" of Heller, who sought less definitive language regarding potential burial sites at a former residential school. The Tk'emlúps te Secwepemc First Nation initially reported "confirmation of the remains of 215 children," but later said they found "confirmation of 215 anomalies." Indigenous Relations Minister Christine Boyle has criticized Brodie's comments as "abhorrent behavior," emphasizing there is "no place in B.C. for residential school denialism."
