TORONTO (Reuters) – The Canadian government said on Friday that it would appeal a federal court decision upholding a Canadian Human Rights Tribunal ruling for it to individually compensate indigenous children and their caregivers harmed by a discriminatory child welfare system.
The decision means Canada will continue a 14-year legal battle. The government filed notice late on Friday, ahead of a deadline.
