Canada: Ottawa will appeal court ruling on Indigenous child welfare but says it’s pursuing a compensation deal
CBC News – October 29, 2021
The Canadian government is appealing a Federal Court ruling that upheld a landmark Canadian Human Rights Tribunal ruling on Indigenous child welfare compensation – but Ottawa says it’s also working with Indigenous groups to reach a compensation agreement by the end of the year. While a notice of appeal was formally filed by the government on Friday, Ottawa says further legal action will be put on hold while the parties try to strike a deal.
