00:00:00.000 I didn't even know about this until I heard the ruling just under a month ago.
00:00:03.420 They had applied for it over a year ago, and they've been delaying about releasing the reports.
00:00:08.400 It's now been it was over a year.
00:00:10.620 And then the federal government decided to just seal the records and say nobody can have any of them.
00:00:15.700 Well, an act of incredible courage.
00:00:17.880 The Black Locks appealed it to the Privacy Commissioner and congratulations to her.
00:00:22.440 Maybe the winds of change are blowing.
00:00:24.240 But she said there is no allowance for you to say you're understaffed and you can't deliver.
00:00:28.660 That's what they tried to say. We're understaffed. We can't manage it.
00:00:31.120 There's too much documents. We don't want to do it.
00:00:33.000 She goes, that's not something in the Information Act. You can't do that.
00:00:36.060 I order you to release these documents forthwith and in any event within 30 days.
00:00:41.080 30 days is on Friday, February 20th.
00:00:45.100 This was a huge victory. Francis Widowson's talked about it.
00:00:48.140 It is at mainstream media didn't report this.
00:00:50.920 It was all done. We heard about it because I'm sort of I hear from people who are saying this is an incredible victory.
00:00:56.260 This is a brave privacy commissioner, but I think she's realized this has got to stop.
00:01:01.060 And she says we have to have accountability.
00:01:03.380 So these documents are coming out the day after tomorrow.
00:01:06.580 February 20th is the deadline.
00:01:08.900 Suddenly there are these reports from Chief Casimir where they're now changing their story about whether they're going to excavate,
00:01:16.000 whether it's sacred gown, whether they know if there are any bodies.
00:01:20.320 They've narrowed their focus.
00:01:22.020 They have to go to 38 different bands now to get permission to see where the bones should go if they dig them.
00:01:27.600 It's incredible what they're saying now.
00:01:30.180 But their pressure is on now because they have to reveal what's been done.
00:01:36.100 And they've got all these explanations of that they've been having discussions and consultations and da-da-da-da-da.
00:01:42.120 And that they're now saying, well, there may not be sort of hinting, well, we don't know if there are remains.
00:01:48.460 But, you know, they're still holding to it in a way, but it's a very big shift in the tone and words being used about this.
00:02:00.260 And all I can say is I did, I phoned one of the journalists who did it today and I said, I want to give my comments on this.
00:02:08.360 And I said, you know, I've been called every name in the book.
00:02:11.140 And I said, this represents a huge victory for truth in this country.
00:02:14.720 And I believe that Casimir should resign.
00:02:18.060 First of all, she should refund the money if they're not going to dig all $12.1 million plus interest back to the Canadian taxpayers.
00:02:25.680 Because of our money and they didn't do it was earmarked for that.
00:02:29.500 They didn't do it or start digging immediately.
00:02:31.780 And it has to be done by the RCMP, not just a group of people.
00:02:34.880 It has to be done properly.
00:02:36.120 And it should have been roped off for all these years anyway.
00:02:38.540 But leaving that aside, also, I think she should apologize to Canada.
00:02:42.440 And I think she should resign. 0.97
00:02:45.460 Thank you.
