Prime Minister Justin Trudeau apologized on Friday for the “incredibly harmful” government policies after an estimated 751 unmarked graves were found at a former Sask. residential school site.

The discovery came just weeks after 215 unmarked burial sites were found at another former residential school site in Kamloops, B.C., sending shockwaves through the country and prompting renewed calls for action.

Trudeau added that Canadians are “horrified and ashamed” of how the country behaved.

"To the members of the Cowessess community and Treaty Four communities: we are sorry. It was something that we cannot undo in the past, but we can pledge ourselves every day to fix in the present and into the future," he stated.

The prime minister vowed to provide mental health support for survivors, families and communities across the country, adding that an agreement was reached to provide around $4.9 million to search for burial sites in Sask.
