During the apology, Trudeau apologized for the way the federal government interrogated, surveilled, and fired members of the military and civil service for being gay.

"It is with shame and sorrow and deep regret for the things we have done that I stand here today and say: We were wrong. We apologize," Trudeau said Tuesday.
