In 2019 the tribunal ordered Ottawa to compensate children and families three years after ruling that Ottawa had discriminated against First Nations children for years by not properly funding child welfare services on reserves.
The federal government, Assembly of First Nations and lawyers for two related class-action lawsuits, announced a deal to pay that compensation in January.However the tribunal is concerned with the timeline claimants have to opt out of the compensation and whether all children will receive the full amount.
Assembly of First Nations regional chief Cindy Woodhouse says the tribunal's decision is devastating and federal ministers also expressed disappointment.

This is hardly surprising Canada has been screwing over Firsts Nations from the start. I don't trust any of the current parties to treat indigenous folks fairly
Still waiting on the kids who snatched from their homes in the UK, or the kids who had just lost parents and in the orphanage. Brought to Canada, as slaves to work on farms etc, murdered, raped..!
Why not develop a few cheap apps then sell them to Trudeau for another 40 billion?
