When did the Canadian federal government formally apologize to former Aboriginal students?

1998
2008
2012
2016

The correct answer is: 2008

In 1998, former Prime Minister Jean Chrétien apologized to the former Aboriginal students who were forced to attend residential schools on behalf of the Canadian government. However, this apology was not considered a formal and official apology. In 2012, under Prime Minister Stephen Harper, a formal apology was issued to former students of residential schools. This leaves options A, C, and D as incorrect choices.
