Feds file judicial review of $40B Indigenous child-welfare settlement
The federal government is asking a judge to review some aspects of the $40-billion settlement agreement over discrimination in the Indigenous child-welfare system, after the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal rejected the deal in late October.
The federal government, Assembly of First Nations and lawyers for two related class-action lawsuits announced a deal to pay that compensation in January. In a joint statement Wednesday, three federal cabinet ministers said the judicial review Canada is seeking in Federal Court will not impede work with the parties to determine how to distribute compensation to children and families in areas of agreement.
At the same time, the government does “have some disagreements over some elements” of the tribunal’s judgment, said Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Marc Miller. “And for that reason, we are filing an appeal.”
