The House of Commons in Canada overwhelmingly supported a motion to call on Pope Francis to apologize on Canadian soil for abuses that occurred at church-run residential schools, Reporter reports.
The motion received all-party support in a May 1 vote, 269-10.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau already invited Pope Francis to Canada to issue a papal apology as called for in the 2015 Truth and Reconciliation Commission report.
Pope Francis has also received invitations from individual bishops.
