THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA-The Assembly of First Nations is chastising the federal government’s legal challenge of a ruling to compensate First Nations children who were unnecessarily taken into foster care as “callous” and “heartless.” Lawyers arguing on behalf of the AFN were in Federal Court Tuesday, arguing against Ottawa’s attempts to set aside a 2019 Canadian Human Rights Tribunal decision that awarded $40,000 to each Indigenous child who was removed from their families and communities before 2006 by a systemically underfunded child-welfare system. The ruling also said the payments should also be made to their caregivers, whether it be their parents and grandparents, as long as they were not found to have been abusive.
