Canada’s Betrayal of 60s Scoop Survivors

Some died in prison while waiting for their settlement while others saw

Sources say the agreement includes a payout of between $25,000 and $50,000 for each claimant.

The national settlement, estimated at $800 million, is to be
announced Friday by Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett.
