Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected next week to ask Pope Francis for a formal apology over the Catholic Church’s role in the country’s residential school system.
The request stems from a report into Canada’s history of taking indigenous children from their parents and sending them to residential schools.
Many children experienced neglect and abuse while far from their families.
Mr Trudeau meets with the Pope on Monday.
