On 9 December, 2013 Premier Kathleen Wynne of Ontario delivered Ontario’s Apology to Former Residents of Regional Centres For People with Developmental Disabilities at the provincial legislature. The apology was delivered a week after the Huronia Class Action Lawsuit was settled for $35 million. The poem uses the form of erasure as a response to the inadequacies of both the apology and the settlement.
