The Truth and Reconciliation Commission has been extended by a year.
The commission was expected to end this summer, but is now scheduled to come to a close June 30, 2015 after being extended Thursday.
It doesn’t come a surprise as the TRC had to fight the government twice to release documents it was withholding.

The TRC needs the documents before writing its final report.
