Ottawa spent at least $55M on Pope Francis’ visit to Canada
A family member of residential school survivors says the minimum $55-million price tag for Pope’ visit to Canada last year feels like another slap in the face for Indigenous people.
Crown-Indigenous Relations spent $5.1 million, the majority for a $3.9-million contract to broadcast the papal tour’s stops, as well as translation services into Indigenous languages and French. David Chartrand, Manitoba Metis Federation president, said in a statement that the apology was necessary to address historic wrongs.
