He noted that the bill represents a crucial step toward remedying the generational harm inflicted on the community due to government inaction.
The committee heard no opposition to the bill, indicating a strong consensus on the need for legislative support. As discussions continue, the focus remains on ensuring that the Windsor Park community receives the justice and resources it has long been denied.
