Cindy Blackstock asks Human Rights Tribunal to reject $20B child welfare compensation deal ottnews ottawa

Cindy Blackstock, executive director of the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society, said the agreement negotiated between the federal government and the Assembly of First Nations fails to meet the reparation standard laid out by the tribunal ruling upon which the deal is based.

Blackstock told CBC News the Caring Society, which was not part of the AFN and Ottawa's compensation negotiations, acknowledges $20 billion is a lot of money. "It's sad to see her being left out and people like her … That seems to me to be a graphic injustice." The deal makes a compromise for parents of removed children. In situations where more than one child was removed, they would receive a maximum of $60,000 — not $40,000 per child, as ordered by the tribunal.
