Court told destroying survivor accounts from residential school era would be 'irreversible' | CTV News

TORONTO -- The sensitive testimony of survivors of Canada's notorious residential school system should be sealed for decades rather than destroyed, because destruction would damage the historical record, an Ontario court heard Tuesday.

In making a pitch to keep the records, a lawyer for the Truth and Reconciliation Commission said their preservation does not have to equal their publication.

"Destruction of those documents will have a deep, irreversible impact on the state of the record," lawyer Julian Falconer said.
