He said the settlement will now need to be approved by Quebec Superior Court in the coming weeks and that a delay will likely be requested to permit a maximum number of victims to come forward. “What’s important to say is that victims of priests from the Montreal archdiocese should contact us quickly, don’t wait until the last minute,” Arsenault said in an interview. “It’s also to tell victims other than those of the Montreal diocese to also contact us, to sign up.”
The agreement covers a maximum of 123 victims, Arsenault said, a number extrapolated from those who have come forward to date. But he said the number could be much higher. If more victims come forward, the agreement will be reopened to negotiate extra funds, he said.Article content
