Honouring the Truth, Reconciling for the Future: Final Report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, the Commission's own 2015 official final report, documents that about 150,000 children passed through Canada's residential school system. Its strength is that it is the Commission's own official final report, drawing on years of hearings and documentary research mandated by the Canadian government. Its limit is that an official commission report reflects the mandate and evidence the Commission itself gathered and is not a substitute for survivors' own individual testimony, much of which it draws on but does not fully reproduce.
