Aaron Gunn is a Conservative candidate in North Island-Powell River in British Columbia .

In videos posted on social media, he has said Canada ’s residential schools did not constitute an act of genocide.

In another post, Gunn seems to suggest the burning of a church after news broke that 215 anomalies were found on the grounds of a former B.C. residential school.

In a statement, the Conservative party says he has been clear in recognizing the truly horrific events that transpired in residential schools.

Poilievre said he wasn’t sure Canadians were “getting value for all this money” The Indian Residential Schools Settlement, which was implemented in September 2007 , allocated $1.9 billion for former students.

He quickly apologized and said he accepted responsibility for his comments, which he called “hurtful and wrong”.
