	Truth Forum Has Cost $3M before It Starts Winnipeg Sun June 10, 2009 http://www.winnipegsun.com/news/canada/2009/06/10/9752391.html OTTAWA — A revamped reconciliation forum on native residential schools has cost about $3 million — and it hasn't started yet. The Harper government is set to relaunch the flawed Truth and Reconciliation Commission with a new three-member panel. It's expected that Manitoba Judge Murray Sinclair will lead the forum to hear stories ranging from good experiences to horrific abuse. Sources say he will work with Marie Wilson, a former CBC North executive and Wilton Littlechild, a vice-chief for the Assembly of First Nations. Ontario Justice Harry LaForme quit as head commissioner last October after a power struggle with two co-commissioners who later resigned. The $60-million forum will hold seven national events and has so far cost about $3 million for salaries and office expenses.
