When the court ruled in their favour, the <a data-HoCid=\"214312\" href=\"/politicians/carolyn-bennett/\" title=\"Carolyn Bennett\">Minister of Indigenous and Northern Affairs</a> said she would never appeal, and many felt redeemed.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4959914\" data-originallang=\"en\">Now the <a data-HoCid=\"214321\" href=\"/politicians/jody-wilson-raybould/\" title=\"Jody Wilson-Raybould\">Minister of Justice</a> continues to deny those survivors justice by appealing this decision. Will she withdraw her appeal and repair this serious breach of human rights against these survivors? There can be no reconciliation in this country in the absence of justice.</p>",
