On Tuesday, Trudeau delivered an apology in the House of Commons addressing the previous treatment of LGBTQ2 soldiers, RCMP officers, and indigenous peoples.
“For the oppression of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and two-spirit communities, we apologize,” he said. “On behalf of the government, Parliament, and the people of Canada: We were wrong. We are sorry. And we will never let this happen again.”
