The assembly said yes Five suggestions were made to the city The statement said that to modify the art installation and “tell the true story of this person, and begin to address the ongoing trauma of his existence.”

These suggestions are:

• Add another number, such as indigenous children or elderly.
• Fill in or seal the blank area on the workbench so that it cannot be used for taking pictures.
• Signage was installed to let the audience understand “Sir John Macdonald’s devastating role in Canadian Aboriginal history”.
• If the artist hired is not an indigenous artist, you should hire a Mi’kmaw artist as a consultant.
• Finish the work as soon as possible.

Only Kuhn.Mike Duffy voted against the resolution on Monday, citing a survey conducted last summer, which showed that most respondents wanted The statue remains as it is.

the problem still exists

Before the vote, the lawmakers asked several questions, such as who will pay for the amendment, where the new signs and indigenous statues will be placed, and how to fill in the blank spaces on the benches to prevent photography opportunities.

After the meeting, Duffy told CBC News that he thought the statue was popular among tourists and locals. He also tracked the emails received by the board of directors in June last year.

He said: “83% of the emails received support John A. Macdonald (John A. Macdonald) staying in place. When you get this kind of feedback from the public, you will listen.”

“What the people in this city want is that they told me directly. In the past, everything else was. I don’t know what’s there, and there’s no there.”

Hope to finish most of the work before the fall deadline-Kuhn. Julie McCabe

Some Members asked whether these proposals could be negotiated. One suggestion made during the discussion was to put the new aboriginal statues in different places.

Duffy said: “For me, all the arrows… show that this is a fact that we should, and we can take care of the indigenous people by assisting them in their own place.”

“That’s why I voted.”

The statue has been damaged at least four times since last June, when the parliament voted 10-0 to keep the statue intact.

The member said: “Tonight is a victory.”

Julie McCabe, chairman of the un Tourism and Economic Development Committee, said Monday’s resolution will compromise and help reconcile the indigenous communities.

She said: “If we look at John A.’s policy and its impact on indigenous organizations, we don’t have to reduce his legacy as prime minister.”

“The key to reaching a solution tonight is balance and reconciliation, and by following these suggestions, you will not be able to truly achieve one without the other, so our two parts together will truly show this balance.”

Although one of the recommendations is to complete the work as soon as possible, McCabe said that expectations must be realistic.

She said: “We are still living in a pandemic, and we will have some consultations with the original artists and indigenous groups. You know, tonight is a victory.” After keeping in touch with the artist, he still has the rights to his works.

“There are certain things that may happen right away… I hope to finish most of the work before the fall deadline.”

un Mitchell Tweel did not attend Monday’s meeting.
