The class action lawsuit was filed in April 2021 by members of the Kitcisakik community who visited this shelter from 1975 to 1991 suffered abuse.
A date has been set for hearing the request for leave. Finally, the defendants, the Government of Canada and the insurer of residence, have consented to permit the class action lawsuit. So the court just issued the order that comes with that consent
explains the lawyer for the plaintiffs, Me David Schulze.
Even if he remains cautious, Me Schulze recognizes that the file is progressing well. Preliminary talks will take place next January. The practice of the federal government for this type of file is more likely to be settled
he says.
For the period from 1975 to 1991
The Notre-Dame de la Route pavilion was not part of the boarding school agreement signed by the federal government fifteen years ago. The children of Kitcisakik were housed there during the school year and transported to Lac Simon School by bus.
” The desire of the community has always been to obtain compensation comparable to what was granted to boarding school survivors. »
The collective action brings together all the people who stayed at the Pavillon Notre-Dame de la Route de Louvicourt residence in the period from September 1975 to November 1991 when they were under 18 years old, which is approximately 140 people.
