Global News published this video item, entitled “Canadian government, Indigenous leaders announce child welfare compensation deal | LIVE” – below is their description.
Canadian Minister of Indigenous Services Patty Hajdu, Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Marc Miller and Indigenous leaders are expected to hold a media availability on Tuesday to give an update on the negotiations related to compensation and long-term reform of First Nations Child and Family Services.
Negotiations are said to have reached final stages on New Year’s Eve, resulting in an agreement that may finally bring an end to a human rights challenge launched 14 years ago.
The case has been a gaping wound in reconciliation efforts with Indigenous Peoples in Canada, as both the former and current federal governments spent millions fighting it in court.
