Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has a request for Pope Francis: say sorry for the role of the Catholic Church in a Canadian school system where indigenous children were abused.
The PM met the pontiff at the Vatican on Monday as part of his trip to Italy for the G7 summit.
The residential schools were set up from the 1880s to take children from their families and assimilate them into mainstream Canadian society.
The last one closed in 1996.
