Judge rules in favour of Indigenous survivors of Sixties Scoop - Politics - CBC News

'The plaintiffs argued — and Belobaba agreed — that Ottawa breached part of the agreement that required consultation with First Nations bands about the child welfare program. '

'Belobaba said Canada breached its "duty of care" to the children, and ignored the damaging effects of the Ontario-led program. '

'The loss of Aboriginal identity resulted in psychiatric disorders, substance abuse, unemployment, violence and numerous suicides," he said, siding with the plaintiffs. '

'Indigenous Affairs Minister Carolyn Bennett said Tuesday the government would "absolutely not" appeal the ruling, but would push to settle on monetary compensation out of court. '

'There are lawsuits in other jurisdictions over similar programs that placed children in foster care or with adoptive parents. '
