Ottawa, Canad – A Canadian court on Tuesday approved a historic multi-billion dollar agreement to reform the country’s discriminatory child welfare system and compensate Indigenous families who suffered because of it.
“It will in no way erase the harms done but it will acknowledge the pain that many of the litigants suffered,” she added. The settlement also comes on the heels of discoveries of hundreds of unmarked graves at former Indigenous residential schools set up by the government to effectively strip students of their culture and language.
The government has made reconciliation a priority, but had previously fought court orders for compensation in the child welfare case, saying it preferred to negotiate a settlement.
