VICTORIA — The group representing Canada's physicians has formally apologized for the harm medical professionals caused to Indigenous Peoples, saying it is"deeply ashamed" and"owning its history" of racism, neglect and abuse.

The association says both actions and inactions by Canadian physicians created deep mistrust by the Indigenous community towards health care systems, leading to further harm to members.
