| dc.description.abstract | This research project examines whether Canadian apologies of historical injustices lead to meaningful change. Using the Political Apologies Database and a provided list of Canadian political apologies, I began gathering an inventory of Canadian political apologies, identifying them by topic, source of the apology, recipient of the apology, and date. Then we will search the Hansard record of parliamentary proceedings for discussions of each apology or the historical injustice that apology addressed to determine what, if any, additional legislative or government action might have been involved in the case. The objective is to determine whether or not democratic principals such as equality, accountability, and minority rights are upheld if followed up by government policy. | |
