Truth and Reconciliation Commission: By the numbers 
Tuesday's final report only a first step in reconciliation 

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission on Canada's Indian residential schools issues its summary report this morning, 
and TRC chair Justice Murray Sinclair has hinted the report 
will cite a form of genocide to describe what happened to the 150,000 or so aboriginal children and their families while the schools operated. 

In media interviews, Sinclair has also revealed that the TRC 
has documented the deaths of over 6,000 students while in residential schools, adding that there are probably more.
