The settlement comes without an admission of wrongdoing. The class is defined as: all current and former members of the CAF and RMCP, and their family members, who received disability benefits from the VAC that were affected by the annual adjustment of the basic pension.

Veterans Affairs Canada is responsible for the benefits and pensions of current and veteran members of the military and the RCMP. Allegedly, since 2002, they had consistently miscalculated disability benefit increases for members of both branches, causing veterans to be underpaid

Thank you for your service, but we miscalculated your pension: Veterans Affairs Canada belatedly supports the troops in a class action settlement. VAC agreed to an $817 million settlement to resolve claims that they had miscalculated yearly benefit increases since 2002.

Bearspaw's lawyer, Sonny Cochrane, says the continued $5 payments are an injustice. They argue that First Nations kept their Treaty promises, yet Canada has negligently failed to provide the current value of $5, which is what was intended under the Treaty.

Chief Darcy Dixon, the representative plaintiff, is pursuing a $1-billion case, arguing that the Treaty promise of $5 annually must be adjusted for current inflation. He invited other Treaty 7 nations — Chiniki, Siksika, Kainai, Piikani, Tsuut'ina and Goodstoney to join.

The U.S. Supreme Court has recently cleared the way for a multi-billion dollar class-action lawsuit against Meta over data misuse and privacy breaches tied to Cambridge Analytica. Does this set a new precedent to hold tech giants accountable?

We will follow this case and when a compensation scheme is disclosed, we will provide updates.

This is the first federal compensation scheme for this matter. Quebec had apologized for the slaughter and paid $3 million in compensation to former dog sled owners in 2011. A 2006 RCMP investigation of its' own conduct had cleared itself of wrongdoing.

This action destroyed the Inuit's way of life for decades, until they eventually imported Huskies from Greenland. In 1999, their representative corporation launched an investigation. 25 years later, the federal government has agreed to offer financial compensation and an apology.

The Inuit people in the northern Quebec community of Nunavik had historically depended on their sled dogs for hunting and transport. They were key to their independent livelihoods. Citing 'safety risks', the federal government ordered their mass slaughter, in the 1950s and 60s.

An apology for the end of the Dog Days: Ottawa prepares to compensate the Inuit for the mass slaughter of their sled dogs. Decades ago, a federal directive led to the killing of over 1000 sled dogs. Today, the Federal government is prepared to apologize with words and money.
