CTV’s Annie Bergeron Oliver interviews Canada's Governor General Mary May Simon at the 73rd Frankfurt Book Fair where Canada was the Guest of Honour. May Simon says the path forward to reconciliation involves difficult but crucial conversations. “I think that role is very important because without that understanding, without the work that is necessary, reconciliation is going to be a very slow process. It’s a lifelong process, but we somehow have to speed it up a bit without being disrespectful to those that have been done harm to,” she said.
