1. The purpose of this Act is to support the families of missing or deceased Indigenous children in their search for information from an institution, body or religious congregation on the circumstances under which those children went missing or died after they were admitted to an institution, taking into account such aspects as those families’ linguistic and cultural characteristics and psychological and spiritual needs. To that end, the Act provides, among other things, that the minister responsible for Indigenous affairs, in a spirit of cooperation, is to assist families who require it.
